Michelle M. Winner is on her self- described ' fourth career' as a journalist. An inveterate traveler, her goal is to land on all of the continents- in style. Enjoying her job as ' professional sybarite' she dutifully reports on the best hotels, wines and chefs in her travels. She is the Vice President of the prestigious worldwide IFWTWA and flys between her homes on the beach in Hawaii and the mountains of Oregon when not traveling on assignment. Michelle is an equestrian and an editor for RIDE magazine - for the love of her horse Drifter. Her articles and photography have appeared in luxury lifestyle magazines, worldwide newspapers and notably the upscale food magazine Saveur. She writes the popular Culinarytraveler.com with her photog husband Kurt Winner.
( FYI- her other careers included commercial interior designer, private client professional shopper and first class only trans-Atlantic stewardess!)
With such diverse experience who wouldn't enjoy her slightly irreverent but always on the money essential travel advice?
