I have been traveling as much as i can ever since i can afford to. I love seeing new places, experiencing new things, and most of all i like trying the local cuisine. My husband and I spend a large part of our vacation budget on food and shopping. My top 5 still to to visit are: Peru, Israel, Egypt, Greece & Indonesia. Although most of the time i want all the comforts of home when traveling, I am not afraid to get dirty either. My husband and i along with our four legged babies go tent camping 2-3 times each summer. When visiting National Parks or State Parks, tent camping is our preferred accommodation

My friends all come to me for vacation advise and most of all advise on the best places to eat especially in my hometown (the Chicago area). My favorite restaurant food is Japanese.
