Say goodbye to boring copy.

Your new favorite writer is here for you.

A born storyteller with a flair for the dramatic, my name is Janelle Lassalle (formerly Albukhari). I'm a creative writer and researcher based in Portland, OR that specializes in writing about food, music, travel and all things lifestyle related.

From interviewing some of the country's finest chefs to creating neighborhood city guides, documenting tales of silly adventures to discovering the joys of life in Italy, Greece and beyond, I live to capture the exuberance that is found in the every day.

And I'm here to bring it to life just for you.
