    My greatest contribution to this world is by far my son Scott. I’m finishing up my Bachelor’s in Professional Writing/Communications at UMass Dartmouth-ONE more semester! I love to travel, explore the shore, shop local, and discover all the natural beauty right here at home on the South Coast. Ride the waves of life and join me!

  • Kaylie

    My name is Kaylie and I'm an undergraduate student at UMass Dartmouth currently interning as a student writer for the New Bedford Guide. I'm pursuing a degree in medical/science writing. I live in Somerset, previously Fall River. I enjoy writing about many different topics and hope to expand my interests into writing about local businesses and events on the South Coast. I'm eager and enthusiastic to share my experiences with readers. When not writing, I like to find new books, hang out with friends and grab a bite to eat (I have a lot of favorite restaurants!), and play video games or surf the web. I'm an aspiring traveler and would love to visit other countries in the future. I look forward to sharing my stories with you.

    I used to write a LOT when I was in high school, but after becoming a mom, that part of me ceased to exist unless I was writing a personal letter to a friend. I want to re-awaken that creativity in me. I like to take photographs and ride on the back of my husband Shannon's Harley, go to live metal and hard core shows, and I hit the gym regularly and pretend I am a brontosaurus when I eat salad. I also love Antiques and live smack dab in Eastern central New Bedford!

    A transplant to the South Coast in 2004, I was born in Kansas and raised in Florida, then joined the Marine Corps within a month after graduating from high school. My six years in the military allowed me to see a great bit of the United States and parts of the World. I’ve always had a burning passion for sports, namely football, and am an avid music lover, primarily blues and southern rock.

    They say "Necessity is the mother of invention", well that's true in the case here. I haven't been able to find much information on restaurants in the Southcoast area other than the odd review from a tourist on the Yellow Pages website. This bugs me. I'm the type of person who likes to do some research before I go out and spend my hard-earned money at a restaurant. More than once I've gone to a place that looks nice on the outside, only to be disappointed by the meal inside. If only I had been able to read a review about the place before I plunked down $28 for a plate of reheated *insert Gordon Ramsey expletive here* . You may ask what qualifies me to be a food critic or blogger or whatever...well, nothing I guess. Nothing official anyway. I think I know food pretty well. I've traveled the world and tasted all sorts of wonderful, awful, tasty, smelly, odd, luscious, exotic food. I've had the luxury of eating Italian food in Italy, German food in Germany, French food in France, Middle Eastern food in the Middle East. My aunts are Korean and my Grandmother's 2nd husband was Indonesian. My mother's a classically trained French Chef. I've lived in places where it's acceptable to eat dogs and cats and scorpions. I love food. I love talking about food. Most of all I love sharing my love of food with others. Please leave me comments...restaurants you've wanted to eat at but are too scared to try but aren't too scared to send me. Places you've eaten and you want to spare me the horror of going to. Places that have become a tradition in your family...yes, Olive Garden!

With a Master's in public relations I have worked as a consultant, and as a professor. I love trying new foods, writing, watching movies (and football!), traveling, listening to a wide array of music, and of course, I <3 the South Coast.
