I’m always interested in exploring new places and experiencing adventures to share with my readers. I look forward to publishing exciting stories, reviews of the places I’ve dined and stayed, and sharing images from the destination itself.  While my preliminary focus is on fine dining, I do appreciate many of the finer things in life.  As a former tour manager (certificate, International Tour Management Institute), my approach is slightly different from other travel professionals.  I also hold a degree in Journalism from the University of Georgia and graduated with a strong liberal arts education.

WHY WORK WITH A to Za’atar?

I’m a trusted resource for food reviews, and it’s my passion to help and inspire my readers.  Having lived in the GCC for ten years (including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha), I have a unique understanding of the region.

If you need an expert on the Middle East, then you should work with me!

AUTHOR / WRITER

As I’ve published eight novels and written numerous articles on many subjects — I love writing!  I can turn around a review quickly and would be happy to help with any assignment.

As an FYI, never copy and paste an entire article of mine onto your site without asking me for permission. I’m not OK with that.
