About

Hi! My name is Krystal and I am 100% obsessed with food and travel. I LOVE to find new places to visit and of course EAT! So it seemed the next step was naturally to share with everyone all the wonderful places that ya’ll might love just as much as I do and heaven forbid might miss out on.

I live in the great state of Texas in the burgeoning metroplex of Dallas/Fort Worth. There is so much to do here it’s hard to keep up, yet I always seem to find something. Even with all the restaurants and events we have here I still love that thrill of the new, of just going somewhere.

That travel bug can hit at any moment; heck it may be the day after your last trip #beentheredonethat. So if you are ever so slightly infatuated with travel, like me, you know how hard it can be to take only one vacation a year. Not happening!! However I know how expensive travel can be from firsthand experience. So a lot of my trips are only a few hours away. I love taking easygoing road trips that allow me to stop and smell the roses (or chocolate, whichever comes first). Follow me here at The Girl and the Coconut to find great travel ideas and more food to eat than your stomach can contain.
