Hi! I'm Katie!
I have an insatiable hunger for new ideas, exciting experiences, and outrageously delicious food. My life path has been anything but predictable. Since graduating from George Mason University in 2015, I’ve traveled the world as a professional dancer, hustled through the gig economy of New York City, have worked every odd job in the book. The Frugal Foodies is my outlet for sharing my adventures, and a chance to show that you can pursue your dreams, eat great food, and see the world on a shoestring budget. Enjoy!
