Krista Torres

As a Senior Writer and Content Creator for BuzzFeed and Tasty, I specialize in lifestyle reporting, viral human-interest stories, and travel/food media. On the site, you can find me writing everything from what it was like when I got an IUD to in-depth expert explainers to seeing if hot springs are truly worth it. I also write a lot about...YOU! The everyday people who go viral, whether that be by giving a behind-the-scenes look at your life as a person with a disability, or sharing something you wish you knew sooner.

You may have also seen some of my travel and food videos on Tasty — like visiting the Cheeze-In Diner in New York or indulging in culinary delights in the desert. I also create original and copycat recipes (try my Texas Roadhouse rolls, they will not disappoint)!

On a more personal level, I am an busy mom originally from Kansas but am happy to now call Los Angeles home. I love sharing snippets of life and my "zero eFFFs" dinners with fellow busy parents on my Instagram and TikTok pages (both linked below)! You’ll also spot my dog Oatmeal and cat Nightlight there. 

I am and will always be a strong advocate for increased resources and transparency regarding mental health.

Lastly, I can't end this without mentioning how much I miss making content with my grandma before she passed.
