Andrea Blum

I’m a journalist by profession a cook by avocation and curious about way too many things to list especially cultures other than my own. That’s why most of my life I have sojourned through the world gathering string and stories of people and their sometimes simple and heartfelt lives. Such travels lead me to meet exceptional people like Lisa with whom I traveled 2500 miles through the Tibetan Highlands in the Kham, eating raw yak and starchy noodles with numbing spices and being in places where wearing shoes in the shower would be preferable. Of particular interest is knowing where my food comes from, the health of the planet and its soil and ice. Currently I work as reporter covering the environment north of San Francisco.
