My Travel Style
I'm pretty detail oriented in general and spend extensive time researching hotels and restaurants. I am also a total Aviation nerd and will always research airlines and aircraft down to the seat I choose. I don't often "fly by the seat of my pants"...

I was the Samantha doll in the original American Girl Doll catalog in 1993. I worked at the Shedd Aquarium & Oceanarium in high school and went to college to become a Marine Biologist. As a television producer specializing in food, I traveled all over the country seeking out America's Best Bites learning to make them in restaurant kitchens..
