Welcome! I'm a southern girl at heart and a flight attendant by trade. I divide my time between Baltimore, Maryland where I am based and the rest of the world...and I want to bring the world to you.
My bags have been packed for a top-shelf adventure since 1999, when I first started my professional career and this great life in the skies. Join me as I share some of the world's most delicious foods to eat, unique boutiques to browse around each corner, and the best hot spots between here and there. Along the way, I'll share travel stories and reviews, recipes, thoughts on wellness, book recommendations, and even tips for what to do on that long layover.
We're all looking for the best in life - sophistication, fun, delicious food, well-being. I hope you'll find the newsletter full of advice to encourage and inspire you to create your own adventure whether it's across the ocean, on the opposite coast, or at your own table.
It's a delight to meet you. Let's go have an adventure, shall we?
Please feel free to contact me [at] marlayoung@mac.com and say hello.
