Hey, I’m Takera: Why I Started Blogging

Hi, Nice to Meet You

Hi, I’m Takera, nice to meet you. I started Flights and Foods in 2018. I immediately dove in with creating a website, researching, studying, buying some useful and cool, along with some unnecessary gadgets. Once I made up my mind to blog, I jumped in head first.

What is Flights and Foods

Flights and Foods is how I share with you my love of food, travel, and photography. I started out thinking I would document my travels on YouTube and review great restaurants along the way. If you’ve ever edited a YouTube video you already know this became a larger task than I anticipated. I became better with editing and grew a small following but I realized I was neglecting my Instagram account. Once I got into Instagram I was like, “Whoa there are other people who love food as much as I do?”

I was amazed at how large some of the foodie Instagram accounts were and how much great photography was out there. I knew I needed to improve my page, more so I wanted to improve my page. I got better equipment, I researched, I studied and I grew my Instagram account and started taking better photos. In the process I’ve met some great like-minded food lovers. 

I’m sure you’re like, “Hey what happened to the Flights?” Actually nothing happened to the flights. I travel quite often with my husband. The best part is experiencing new cultures. We always make friends with locals, it’s really the best way to experience a new city or country. I take so many photos while traveling, I have a large cue, but I intend to share every photo.

Why I started Blogging

My husband and I travel internationally about three times a year. Ideally we’ll also take a domestic trip every three months or so. Often friends and family would ask, “Ooo, where was that picture taken?”, or “I’m going to (insert city, state, or country), where should I go eat?” We really got the question so often I thought it was a good idea to share everything in one place. Now I can just answer with, “Check out my blog!” 

I also selfishly started a blog for myself. I have loved photography ever since I can remember. Flipping through family albums was always my favorite pastime. I would sneak my mom’s polaroid to snap a photo whenever I got a chance. Then when I turned about eleven or twelve, I discovered disposable cameras and pharmacy photo developing. Now as an adult I’m proud to own a camera with removable lenses (fancy). 

Documenting my favorite restaurants, attractions, hotels, beaches, preserves my experiences for myself and gives me a place of reference for return visits.  

What I Hope For

I simply enjoy good food. I love photography. I have a passion for helping people. I find comfort in telling stories. 

Through my enjoyment, love, passion, and comfort I hope to be of service to others. I hope someone eats where I ate, sleeps where I slept, sees what I saw…and has a great experience.

  • Britain’s Best-Dressed Mockery

    Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. What truly elevates The London Prat above capable competitors like The Daily Mash is its commitment to satirical world-building over gag-writing. The site has constructed a persistent, shadow Britain—a bureaucratic dystopia that operates with a terrifying internal consistency. Characters, both named and archetypal, recur. Institutions like the “Ministry of Reassurance” or the “Office for Narrative Continuity” have histories, protocols, and decaying office furniture. This isn’t a series of isolated jokes; it’s a sprawling, serialized tragicomedy. The reward for the regular reader is the deep pleasure of narrative continuity, of seeing a satirical premise mature and mutate across multiple pieces. It creates a loyalty that is more akin to following a beloved, if bleak, novel than checking a humor site. This ambitious narrative architecture provides a richness and a depth of critique that the episodic model cannot hope to achieve, making the folly it describes feel systemic, inevitable, and part of a grand, depressing design.

    A lot of of the things you articulate is supprisingly precise and that makes me wonder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular subject matter goes. Nevertheless there is one factor I am not necessarily too comfortable with so whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the core idea of your position, permit me see exactly what the rest of the visitors have to say.Nicely done.
