Tireless traveler, avid bicycle rider, dedicated restaurant patron and over-qualified eater. French-Cajun by birth, Parrothead by choice, and a Southerner by the grace of God. After a career in the global restaurant industry marketing kitchen equipment and services to some of the world's largest chains, I’m now a semi-retired Baby Boomer determined to defy physical age by remaining in constant motion and living a full life. I've traveled to 47 states and 33 countries, and continue to count upwards. Sharing experiences is my avocation, and my blog, OurTravelCafe.com, reflects that passion.
