Meet Candace

Hi there! I’m the person who reads every menu twice, asks the hotel front desk about the quietest rooms, and genuinely gets excited when I find a place that exceeds expectations.

My journey into food and travel criticism started the way most good stories do – by accident. As a writer who mentors other authors, I’ve always believed that every experience has a story worth telling. I found myself naturally drawn to sharing the stories behind the meals and stays that made an impression, whether delightfully positive or memorably disappointing.

What drives my reviews:

I believe in fairness. Every establishment gets a fresh slate when I walk through their doors. I’m not looking to tear places down – I’m looking to celebrate what works and honestly share what doesn’t.

I understand that your time and money matter. When I recommend something, it’s because I genuinely believe you’ll be glad you went. When I point out issues, it’s to help you make informed decisions.

I remember that real people work hard behind every meal served and every bed made. My reviews reflect that respect, even when the experience falls short.

My approach:

• I always visit anonymously and pay my own way
• I give places multiple chances when possible
• I consider value alongside quality – not everyone needs Michelin stars
• I write for real people making real decisions with real budgets

Beyond the reviews: When I’m not exploring restaurants and hotels, you’ll find me helping other writers find their voices and craft their stories. That background in understanding what makes good storytelling translates directly into reviews that give you the context you actually need.

I’m excited to share this journey with you. Let’s discover some great experiences together.
