Marilyn Johnson is a part-time freelance food and travel writer based outside of Philadelphia. I travel for pleasure and love to explore the food scenes in the locations I visit. It is an opportunity for me to truly support the local economy while learning the customs, traditions, and culture of the areas I travel to. I love meeting people and hearing their unique stories. I love to amplify those stories through my writing. In 2023, I was selected as a USA Today Food & Travel Expert contributing destination to travel for tasty food!
Because I'm a food and travel writer and I think I can get a lot of value out of this community. I'm looking to learn, connect, and to be an advocate for food travel.
Chicago, Washington DC, NYC, Los Angeles, Philadelphia (of course!)
Hawaii, Palm Springs, Miami, Nashville, Charleston, Atlanta, Seattle, Montreal, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Caribbean
