🌍Saiko, A Taste Seeker Across the Globe

I am Saiko, the heart behind this travel and food blog. It all began with the sea licking at my ankles in Cassis, France—a moment so vivid, so full of flavor, that I knew I had to capture these experiences and share them with fellow flavor-seekers like you.

Whether I am wading through turquoise waters, wandering cobbled backstreets, or pausing to admire blooms that spill over stone walls, I am guided by curiosity. I ask strangers what they eat for breakfast. I peek into kitchens, markets, and tucked-away cafés. flavors are a way to understand a place deeply—and to remember it fully.

🌊 In Cassis, France

Cassis is sunlight and salt, soft laughter from café terraces, and markets that smell like thyme and stonefruit. Here, I learned to slow down. To appreciate a plate of grilled sardines like it’s poetry. To eat with my hands, my eyes, and all my senses.

🌸 In Kotor, Montenegro

Kotor is a maze of ancient stones, where potted hydrangeas bloom brighter than the flags hanging above alleyways. One morning, a woman selling figs gave me her secret for a no-fuss jam. We didn’t speak the same language—but food bridged the gap.

✨ Why I Created This Space

This isn’t just a food blog. It’s my open journal of travel, taste, and the quiet moments in between. Every recipe I share is tied to a memory—humble, heart-filled, and often unexpected. My kitchen reflects the road: simple, spontaneous, and always looking for wonder.

If you love discovering new cultures through flavors, or if you crave that feeling of arriving in a new place and wondering what’s for lunch, you are home.
