      <image:title>About - A few other things about me:</image:title>
      <image:caption>My family is my anchor and my siblings are my absolute favorite partners-in-crime (PICs). So much of how I cook, gather, and show up in the world is inspired by the laughter, chaos, and love we share. You can listen to some of our shared stories, memories, and reflections on our podcast, Growing Up Nguyen Travel inspires me. It's about the people I meet, the stories I hear, and how it deepens my connection to culture and food. 30+ countries and counting! I am a GroupX enthusiast and an RYT-200 certified yoga instructor, which is why you might occasionally find me writing about movement and mindfulness.</image:caption>
