Hungry? Check Out Santa Fe’s Top 5 Food Finds

I absolutely love these restaurants. So much that I visited each on more than one occasion during my five-week sabbatical in Santa Fe. In fact, I was knighted a “temporary local”, an honor I hold dear.

Covid has definitely cramped my travel style. Turning lemons into lemonade, I found a way to reinvent my world-wide Travelista lifestyle by creating weeks-long adventures in the U.S. This is a fantastic way to experience the many different parts of my home country. And it’s a great approach for retirees, families with kids doing online learning or even millennials who can work remotely.
