who?…

Hi, I’m Caitlin 👋  I live in Tokyo, grew up in Vancouver, and used to live in Amsterdam before COVID.

Dumpling Diaries is where I share my favorite food finds, travel adventures, hidden gems, and random moments from life on the road.

I’m always looking for places that feel special, whether that’s a tiny ramen shop tucked down an alley, a beautiful café with great coffee, or a destination that deserves way more hype. This blog is my way of documenting those experiences and helping others discover them too.

You’ll find restaurant recommendations, travel guides, weekend trips, local spots, and honest thoughts from my adventures around the world.

Think of Dumpling Diaries as part travel journal, part food guide, and part collection of things that made me stop and say, “omg, wow! ”

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you spark joy here 🥟
