Deirdre Michalski

With thirty years of experience in marketing and public relations for resorts, restaurants and spas, Deirdre now is a freelance writer covering her travel and culinary adventures. Her web site is: www.TastesAndTravel.com . She writes about travel around the globe and local Southern California happenings and restaurants too. She finds her travels to “bucket list” destinations and oldest restaurants in key cities around the world are of particular interest to her audience. She enjoys interviewing chefs, writing about travel, history & finding the backstory and of course cuisine. For some trips she is on a cruise ship, others a river boat, by car and other trips involve living like a local.

She targets that “over 40 crowd” who have the funds to travel and the passion to explore exciting destinations. Recent international travels include: Bora Bora, Easter Island, epic Machu Picchu, The Great Wall of China and most recently to Stonehenge. Two favorite spots are France & Italy where she “lived like a local” in a Villa with visiting chefs. She also did a river cruise through the South of France and another from Budapest to Vienna and ending in Vilshofen, Germany. They then headed up to Prague. She recently took a month long Baltic ocean cruise. At the end of the trip they made arrangements to visit Stonehenge.

She is an active member of IFWTWA (International Food Wine and Travel Writers Association) and Women In Travel.
