Hi! My name is Cheryl Lam and I am a chubby Penangite who is very passionate on food and a big lover of travelling. I was born with a huge appetite and never hesitate to travel the extra mile for great food (Diet? Meh. Life is good as it is!). I also enjoy all styles of traveling in every corner of the world and would never stopped traveling while I can. I was nicknamed Lam Lam by my friends, which in fact derived from Fat Lam (yep I was much chubbier back then, lol!) before I was given a new name when I became a little slimmer over the years. I think this nickname is kind of cute and it was stuck with me ever since. Hence it explains how I came up with my blog name cheryllamlam with the last L.A.M. stands for Life, Adventures, Memories, documenting all my interesting life events.

So how did I become a blogger? Well, with my passion on food and traveling, I always love to share all my gastronomic journey and exciting travel experiences with everyone. I understand the tedious work involved in travel planning and would like to make it simple for everyone with my travel tips and travel guides. Hence, in year 2012, I decided to set up a blog and started writing out of interest. Then it turned to something greater than I expected and now I am a full time blogger. I always imagine showing my website to my children or grandchildren in the future, telling them all my food and travel stories. A lot of people asked me why would I give up a potential career for full time blogging. My answer to them is Passion. Sitting at an office desk from 9-5 was not what I wanted. It didn't make me happy and I felt as if I was living someone else's dream. With my flexibility that I have now, I am able to devote my time to establish my dream - Cheryl Lam's Life. Adventures. Memories.

As much as it may seem amazing to be a full time blogger, nothing comes easy in this world. I have faced challenges along the way and was stroke with stress and obstacles from time to time. However, I strongly believe this is what I have to go through to learn life lessons, and when I am doing what I truly enjoy, my hard work and perseverance will pay off. I may not be there yet but I am closer than I was yesterday!

If you love food and traveling, history and culture, and a bit of excitement with outdoor adventures, then you've come to the right place. Cheryllamlam.com's goal is to inspire you to lead an adventurous life, help you plan your next vacation and temp your tastebuds with all the delicious food in the world!
