Hi, I'm Lori, an award-winning photographer and travel writer who loves slow food and slow travel. "Eat Local, Travel Slow" is the mission that's defined our travel blog Travlinmad since 2014, as well as Italy Foodies, our site about food travel to Italy. I'm a former destination marketing pro, and my work has appeared in the Washington Post, Tages-Anzeiger, and The Huffington Post, among others. Originally from New Jersey, when I'm not slow traveling Italy, I'm at home in Naples, Florida writing about the Gulf Coast and southwest Florida for the Naples Florida Travel Guide.
