I'm a full-time photographer and content creator splitting my time between NC and TX. I've had a blog since 2009 and have cultivated an engaged following, some of whom have been following me since I was in high school. (I'm in my mid-30s now!) I've worked with brands like Red Bull, Yasso, Cuisinart, Suntory, City of Durham, and Marriot. I've been featured in the Austin Statesmen and Raleigh's News Observer, as well as Culturemap and WRAL.
I'm passionate about photography and story-telling and can't wait to connect with brands for creative collaborations!

🥳 $50 Giveaway 🎉 @voodoowingco_chapelhill just joined the East Franklin St. crew in Chapel Hill! They hosted me for a meal and now we’re hooked. With over 17 flavors, there’s bound to be several that will hook you too. I especially loved their mango habanero flavor. And when the mac and cheese came out, I was skeptical by the sight of it but jokes on me, I loved it. I will be getting it every time I visit now. They’re generously gifting a lucky winner a $50 gift card to give them a try too! Pro tip: Save room for all three desserts 🤤.

We checked out @maketto1351 this last trip to D.C. and now you gotta do the same if you haven’t yet! This Asian restaurant and sneaker shop hybrid serves Cambodian and Taiwanese inspired cuisine. We loved everything we tried, but their crispy gruyere dumpling changed my brain chemistry 🫨. What we tasted: Crystal Shrimp Dumplings Soy Milk and Dough Sticks Drunken Shrimp Fried Rice Wok-Fried Rice Noodles Smoked Dry Aged Brisket Mochi Beignets Does any of that strike your fancy? I think it should. Save this post for your next D.C., tag your foodie friends, and follow @lindaeatsworld for more! #lindaeatsdc #dcfoodporn #dcfoodie #travelblogger #ncblogger

Hello from a spontaneous trip to DC 👋🏼. I’ve had @roseavebakery on my list for a few years now and kept missing their business hours the last few visits to DC. It was my only priority spot for this trip ☺️. We tried the spam crossiant, the ube coconut donut, and the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Wish I had more stomach space/time in DC 🙃. I am definitely coming back! Save this post in your DC IG collection, tag your carb-loving friends, and follow @lindaeatsworld for more! #lindaeatsdc #travelblogger #ube #ncblogger
I felt like I manifested this ube flan over at @averdemexican_cary ✨. I went to A’Verde for the first time in a couple of years and Sugarface and I had such a lovely brunch! The Churros French toast was even better than I remembered, and the Adobo Fried Rice was just as good as I remembered. Sugarface loved his taco trio (I stole bite of his Baja fish taco and it was sahhh good.) But the new obsession for me is the ube flan. They didn’t have this last time I visited and it felt like a gift from the universe. If you like ube and flan, go visit A’Verde! So save this post, tag your brunch buds, and follow @lindaeatsworld for more Triangle gems. #lindaeatsworld #lindaeatsnc #ncblogger #919eats #ube So friend, how do you feel about ube?
As someone who does countless long drives since college, I’ve always been a little nervous before each long drive. I was afraid to be an Asian female on my own while Anti-Asian hate crimes are on the rise. I felt my body tense every time I saw a confederate flag (three times) or a Trump sign (I lost count). This spike in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans has been on the rise since the beginning of the pandemic.
