Literary Globetrotting

Take a place, mix in a book, add a smattering of food and you have the recipe for a great trip. For years I’ve had different ideas for a blog – books I want to write, books I’m excited about, books who are old friends, books to read while traveling, travel books, travel experiences, traveling with kids, traveling with teenagers, traveling as a couple, best foods, best foods in various places, recipes…but I could never settle on one thing and get excited about it. The Literary Globetrotter was born of all these things because, for me, they often they meld together. I’ve visited 27 countries and 45 US states. I’ve read books to learn, to prepare, to enhance an experience, to relax, to escape, and just for the pure joy of reading.  I’ve tried new foods from around the world as well as foods close to home, and recreated recipes of foods I’ve loved. I’ve traveled alone, as a couple, and with children. Welcome to my world! I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more.
