the obligatory introduction

Welcome to the Onion Milk blog!

My name is Jesseca.  I travel.  I drink coffee.  I don't know what kind of music I like.  I have a freckle smack dab in the middle of my chin.  If you want to talk, I want to listen.  If you want to laugh, stick with me, kid.

I'm creating this blog because sometimes journaling isn't quite enough.  I like to tell stories and take pictures, so I'll throw in a few of both just to keep things interesting.

If you're wondering, I'm from Denver.  I've traveled a little and hope I get to travel a lot some day.  I spent a week in Albania and Germany in 2011, and lived in Africa for two months this past April-May (Uganda and Kenya).

Why is this blog called Onion Milk?  Such a silly name, you say.  Well, as the story goes, one day while I was slicing some onions at work, I noticed that each one was leaving behind a little milky puddle on the counter.  I googled it, of course, and found that this 'milk' is a sign that the onion is fresh and full of flavor and vitamins.  Kind of like the way weird stuff happens in life but it ends up proving that the best things in life come in unexpected packages.

So there you have it.
