Welcome to The Gallivanting Spoon!

Hello, I am Allyson, a food enthusiast that loves to EAT and roam the world. I have a hunger for organizing, planning, and well, eating of course! The Gallivanting Spoon is a food and travel blog with a focus on Restaurant Reviews, Hotel Reviews, and Travel Guides. My biggest joys in life are to see the small details fit together to make one big picture, I call it my “puzzle drive”.

I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelors’s Degree in Hospitality Management, with an emphasis in Event Planning. While in university, I took the opportunity to study abroad in the Netherlands. Studying abroad inspired me to spread my wings and start a food and travel blog.

My goal is to complete the travel puzzles for you and guide you to mouth-watering restaurants around the world. So grab your spoon and your passport, and Let’s Gallivant!


THE FOODIE

“Do you live to eat or eat to live?”

As The Gallivanting Spoon, I live to eat. Food is a wonderful thing with so many different types, varieties, preparations, while still being one of the most common conversation topics throughout the world. While I love traveling and experiencing different food around the world, I also love to cook and bake right in my very own kitchen.

PS: The Gallivanting Spoon Cook Book is in the works!


THE TRAVEL BUG

The Gallivanting Spoon is always looking for the next adventure. Whether it is backpacking through Europe, road tripping through the United States, or setting sail on a cruise, each and every trip is thoughtfully planned out to make the most of my time. My ideal trip includes a mix of adventure, relaxation, and once in a lifetime food experiences. What does your ideal trip look like?


THE PLANNER

Growing up I would plan weddings even if there was no wedding to be planned, planning is in my blood. Traveling also holds a large part of my heart, and it includes a ton of planning, so why not turn what I am good at and love into my dream job? Custom Travel Planning includes a personal travel itinerary based on your travel style.

Soon you will become a Gallivanting Spoon and we will be traveling the world together!
