Travel and Food Articles

During my days as a Rand McNally travel editor, I contributed content to several titles including the Family Adventure Guide and the cross-title Best of the Road feature. These days I report weekly on destinations around the world for Crain's Chicago Business. Oh, and hey, I've always been a big fan of food.
