Melissa Hie is the "girl" in Girl Eat World, a travel blog and Instagram account that documents the delicious treats she eats while on the go. Hie started travelling in 2009 when she moved by herself to Singapore; in 2010, after a short trip to Thailand, Hie knew that she was hooked, and has been travelling ever since. Bored Panda reached out to Hie to find out how Girl Eat World started:
"The [2013] Europe trip was my first ever solo trip" Hie explained to Bored Panda. "During the trip, I had the chance to taste many delicious food from the countries I visited, which is Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands and Belgium. However I had no one to share it with so I ended up taking pictures of the food with the amazing European backdrop at wherever place I was having it. And that's how Girl Eat World started."

Strawberries Dipped In Chocolate, Belgium
Godiva is the Worst... Try Neuhaus or Corné Port Royal or Frederic Blondeel (if you crash in the very centrum of Brussels, in "Place Sainte Catherine")

Gelato was my favorite summer treat as a kid, we used to make mango and cherry and eat it by the pool on hot days
I would have expected something more exciting from France ... They have the most amazing pastries ????
Frozen Yogurt, Malta
Blue Coconut Ice Cream, Malta
Koulouri, Greece
Fish-Shaped Taiyaki, Japan
Taiyaki is always fish shaped... if it's a similar dessert which is not shaped like a fish then it would be called ningyo yaki which means "doll" yaki and comes in various other shapes. But "tai" yaki always refers to a fish shape.
32cm Ice Cream Cone, Korea
God that would be so scary, someone bumps you and there it all goes
O3O WANT TO GO TO KOREA. NEW DREAM: TO GET A ICE CREAM WITH 13 SWIRLS
I thought this was the "tastiest" street foods. That ice cream doesn't taste very good - definitely not the best you can get in Korea. Not to mention there are several tastier street foods easily found all over Korea! I feel like she just chose this because it is tall.
Puff, Myanmar
Beautiful photo! I love the juxtaposition of the simple pastry against the colorful background.
Me, too. The puff mimicking the shape of the balloons rising... beautiful photos!

She never specifies that she is only posting "Street Food". It clearly says "the delicious treats she eats while on the go."
