The Tasty Travelers™
Welcome to The Tasty Travelers™ blog! We are so happy that you stopped by!
The Tasty Travelers™ officially got their start in December of 2018.
As a family, we have always had a love for all things food and travel and finally decided to share our love for these things with all of you! Over the last couple of years, the direction of the blog has shifted from food and travel over to mostly just food but we would love to spend more time traveling when we can. Today, we spend most of our time in the kitchen making delicious meals! We hope you enjoy our recipes as much as we do!

Lauren Cardona-Tasty Traveler #1
Hi, I’m Lauren but you can call me Tasty Traveler #1!
I have always had a passion for food, cocktails, and travel. It has become more pronounced over the last several years since I have had the opportunity to do so many of the things that I love.
One of my favorite conversations to have with friends and family revolves around the question: “Let’s pretend for a minute that every single job in the world is currently hiring…it’s your lucky day! Now, let’s make it even better and pretend that every job pays 1 billion dollars! Woo Hoo! If given the chance to pick any job and money were not an issue, what would you pick?” I 100% absolutely know what I would choose every….single….time…I would choose to be Anthony Bourdain’s sidekick on “No Reservations.” I absolutely love the way that he was able to connect with people all across the world, dive into their culture, and enjoy their food and drinks. It wasn’t until recently that I asked myself the question…..why aren’t you doing that?
So, here we are. I am diving into my passion for food, cocktails, and travel and sharing my journey with all of you. Enjoy the trip!

Luis Cardona-Tasty Traveler #2
Hi, I’m Luis! (I like to think of myself as Tasty Traveler #1 but Lauren says I’m Tasty Traveler #2!)
I too have a love for food, travel, and all things in between! Over the past several years I have found more time to be adventurous with the things that I eat, the places that I go, and all of the experiences in between. The majority of my day is spent analyzing data and forecasting trends for a large corporation just outside of Chicago. My day job translates over to thetastytravelers.com rather nicely. I’m the supportive husband, food sampler, vacation companion, and excursion planner as well as the dedicated tech guy for the website.
If you have any questions about the website or would like to collaborate with The Tasty Travelers™, I’m your guy. (Traveler #2)
Thanks for joining us on our food and travel adventures!
