Hello. I'm Angela White, the creator, blogger, and event planner behind Figs and Flights.

Life fueled by food and travel is my motto and what drives Figs and Flights content. My goal is that you, too, will be inspired to enjoy a life filled with great eats and adventures. 

My obsession with food began in very early childhood. One of my favorite memories is the fig tree in my Pap's (Grandfather's) yard. I'd painstakingly wait for the juicy fruits to ripen all summer long and we'd dive into them together. These days I still love figs and have a tree in my own yard! I love to cook and live for finding excellent food on trips. I enjoy fresh and healthy food and seriously sweet treats. I'm a pescatarian: I eat fish and seafood but not meat and poultry. 

Travel is my other true love. I catch flights as often as I can. I'm no stranger to airports and you bet I can pack a mean carry on bag complete with TSA approved liquids. When road trips are necessary I make a terribly sleepy co-pilot. I love an adventure at sea and always keep my preferred sea-sickness medication in my purse at all times.

I've traveled to 8 countries. 
  1. Vancouver, BC, Canada 
  2. Mexico, to Acapulco and to Playa Del Carmen
  3. Italy, twice including Rome, Naples, Sicily, Venice, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast
  4. Ireland, to Galway, Doolin, and Dublin
  5. Greece, both to Athens and Mykonos
  6. France, Paris and Normandy
  7. Portugal, Sintra and Lisbon
  8. Barcelona, Spain

I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and have lived in Seattle, Washington (once) and Honolulu, Hawaii (twice, now). I'm thrilled to be back in Hawaii for a second and hopefully permanent time. I live with my husband, Bryce, a bossy cat, and a playful dog.

My "real job" is event and wedding planning at Angela White Events (new in 2022!). 

​At home I'm typically in the kitchen with music blasting, over-planning my next vacation, reading, or watching a movie I've already seen 100 times.
