Rebecca F Reuter
I am a child of immigrants. I grew up in the melting pot neighborhood of Rogers Park, Chicago, IL. I currently reside in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle with my husband and two cats.
I write to share my story. To share my travel experiences as a person who struggles with the concept of home. I write to connect readers with the food and people from faraway places.
