Welcome!

This is The Traveling Spoons, and we are Job and Hannah.

In October of 2012, the two of us were fortunate enough to have been selected from a pool of hundreds of applicants from our global company for a special project in California.  I flew in to California from Rhode Island, the smallest state in the United States, and Job flew in a day earlier, from Amsterdam.  The second we met, sparks started flying and before the day was out… well, we kind of started to fall in love.  With the group of people we were working with, and a healthy per diem, we had great food, met cool people, and had an amazing time.

About a year before Job and I met, he was sent to London for our company and was put on a significant per diem for his food expenses. During this time, he sauntered around the city looking for posh hot spots with great food.  It was all this amazing “free” food that inspired him to start…collecting, we’ll say, spoons from each restaurant he visited. He had this great idea to use the spoons as a sort of a rating tool for his food blog that he was excited to start… but it never really took off when he had the idea.

Fast forward to now… and about 150 spoons later (or something close to that), we are here to launch this amazing blog together.  Here we are going to share the amazing food we find in experience together in our travels, from lil’ Rhody to Amsterdam and everywhere in between.  We’ll share stories about our travels, recipes we love, recipes we find, recipes we try, and recipes we want to try. We’ll share more of our story together, and most of all, post pictures of all of this amazing food.  We hope you enjoy all of this love… love of food, people, traveling, and each other, and maybe even try a recipe or two.  

For now though, welcome to The Traveling Spoons! We’re really excited to have you!

Hannah & Job
