I’m an Orlando-area food and travel writer with over 14 years of experience writing for newspapers, magazines, and digital publications in the US and China. I’m not afraid to see what’s around the next corner, and I want to try what everyone else is eating — even if it means sharing their chopsticks. My curiosity landed me in a Chinese police station once, but it also led me to a fantastic community bread oven in the heart of Marrakech.
