I am a photographer, writer, recipe tester, home cook, editor, and aspiring web geek. In a previous life I was an artist and gallerina. If you have any questions or would like to use any of the pictures or content on this site, please contact me so we can collaborate!!

EMAIL me at:  hello @ jessbopeep . com

VISIT me at these other online hangouts, and be my friend!

I am a contributor for HonestCooking, and in the past have been on the teams for Girl Meets FoodeChinaCitiesRecipeRelay, and EaterDC.

When not writing, eating, or browsing the internet, I do other things. I’ve worked at Righteous Cheese in Washington DC’s Union Market, where i could be found talking cheese and other curd-related bits. I do a lot of yoga and drink a lot of wine (though, not at the same time).

In China, I held regular freelance jobs with companies where I proofread (English and Chinese) and did a little bit of voice-recording.  I am always looking for new ventures and possibilities, especially to work remotely and on project-based contracts. Let’s talk!

As of September 2013 I’ve assumed a managing editor role at a local publication in Dar es Salaam. Email me if you have some input!

    Jessie,

    Found you by way of your AFSA article. I, too am a Foreign Service spouse (in Charleston, South Carolina). Love your beautiful photos! https://www.gravytrainblog.com

      Hi, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! Your blog is gorgeous, way to go with the design and branding…are you doing it yourself or with a template? Always looking to know how others find their way on the web. And, what is your family doing in SC now? Any idea if you’ll be abroad again?

        Hey Jessie! I was just going to say the same thing about your blog. I do my own blog design and coding and am based off of the Typepad Pro platform. My husband has an assignment here in Charleston. Our next assignment is in DC and we’ll be heading abroad after that, hopefully. How much longer are you guys in Tanzania? Where are you heading next?
