Hellooooo... Introducing Me!

Hi! My name is Caroline and I have been vegan for about three and a half years – and vegetarian for about four years before that. I started my Instagram @simply__radishing in December 2017, as a way to hold myself more accountable for sticking to a healthy vegan diet, focusing on consuming nourishing whole foods. In the past few years, this page has expanded dramatically, and with that so did my interest in recipe development and nutrition, so I finally decided to start this blog!

However, this isn’t just a place for recipes! I grew up as a competitive athlete, which I think has driven my love for exercise and my passion for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle! I also plan to use this blog as a place to share workouts, tips for healthy living, and my journey in getting certified to become a yoga teacher, which I will complete in February!

And if you’re interested to know a little more about me…. Keep reading :)

I am originally from Louisville, Kentucky and graduated from the University of Virginia this past May with a double major in Foreign Affairs and Spanish. I currently work as a law clerk and waitress in South Carolina and plan to go to law school in the future!

Some of my favorite things to do are reading and travelling. I love memoirs, but I will read almost anything! Some of my favorite authors include Paulo Coelho, Jack Kerouac, F Scott Fitzgerald, and Isabel Allende.

Over the past few years I’ve visited almost 20 different countries through study abroad, working abroad, and just because! I studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain which is one of my favorite cities ever! I also worked for Peruvian Hearts in Cusco, Peru, where I lived for a few months as well. I love meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and of course finding the vegan food in new places :)
