Perhaps it's my surprise at what, at least to me, seems to be an extraordinary amount of travel and restaurant-hopping for this self-described homebody.

Perhaps it has been my extraordinarily good fortune to travel (and dine away from home) more than I'd ever hoped.

Perhaps it's the 200+ reviews ("and counting"!) I've written for other people's sites.

Perhaps I should thank my husband, Jay Boersma, who is sharing some of our travel snaps here, forThe Considered Traveler. Take some time to look at his professional photography:  www.re-vision.com
