Wildest food tried abroad?
Monkey brains and snake blood in Asia were definitely the strangest foods I’ve seen but couldn’t bring myself to try

Margarita, mojito, cucumber vodka martini.. Hmmm, I am staring to see at trend
Beach or mountains?
Mountains but my family prefers beach so we do a fair amount of both
Favorite travel memory?
Loved traveling Asia with my mom, seeing Egypt through my husband’s eyes (he’s a big history buff) and experiencing Disney World as if it was the first time with my kids

Top travel tip?
I am a trained Chef so food is always top of mind. My tip is while on vacation don't be afraid to travel for food! The best culinary experiences are often off the tourism circuit, and it's sooo worth it
Strangest souvenir?
I picked up a souvenir in China that is said to bring you luck. So far it has delivered but I have no idea what is written on the cover and I don’t want to find out!
