Shinichi Mine (smine27)

There is nothing I love more than sharing my passion for good food, exotic travels and life with the world.I will literally travel across the ocean in search of the best butter, the most awesome cupcake or that perfectly-crafted sandwich.

On my never-ending quest for the best food, I find myself constantly trying to keep my weight in check. Although I've been able to lose half my body weight, the only way I manage to keep it off is through portion control, limiting my carbs and regular exercise. My recipe hubs will reflect my eating style and you'll find recipes that are Paleo, low carb, Japanese and even carby dishes like pasta, rice and potatoes.

Yep, I'm all over the place when it comes to food, but it's all about control isn't it? :;)

I manage a food and travel blog called TabiEats. If you're obsessed about food and/or travel like I am, please hop on over by clicking on that grey icon on the right.

Thanks for the opportunity and looking forward to getting to know you here.
