Author: Lara Christenson

Growing up in the cornfields of northwest Indiana, Lara’s family vacations never ventured outside of the Midwest. However, as an adult, she’s gotten to see the best of Europe with her mom, dad, brother, and mostly with her sister – London Sage, Jessica Christenson. Although she remains tethered to home as a resident of the heartland, living in Chicago and Indianapolis over the years, she is always planning the next European adventure in her head! As a sales superstar in the food industry, what she loves learning about when she travels is how food (or lack of it) helps define people, cultures, and nations.
