Lowell Thomas Travel Journalist of The Year
Holy cow.
I won the Society of American Travel Writers’ “Grand Award†– The Lowell Thomas Travel Journalist of the Year.
“At least you did something,†quipped my Republican-leaning father referring to a certain recent Nobel Peace Prize winner.
I took it as a compliment.
In any case, it’s fantastic news and a huge honor. There is an incredible list of winners that reads like a Who’s Who of travel writing – including several for the Boston Globe’s Travel section. There’s also a video of the awards that includes a photo of me in a cheche and another where I’m slurping an oyster with my buddy Ethan - start at around 17:40.
Here are links to the stories in my entry – most with a serious food bent – broken down by where they were published.
