Cheri Sicard

Hi, I'm Cheri Sicard and I am the editor and co-creator of this website. Like most meaningful experiences in my life, this one came about in a most roundabout manner. My background is eclectic, to put it mildly, but continually throughout this strange trip that has been my life to this point, I've always had an interest in travel, food and cooking (our other website is FabulousFoods.com).

I was fortunate enough to grow up in the circus (yes, for real as you can see by some of the photos on this page). Likewise, I spent much of my early life living full time on the road.

As a child, I would spend summers traveling and reluctantly return home to Massachusetts and the drudgery of school in the fall. I was hooked, and from that point on lived for the summers when I would travel to such exotic locations as Debuque, Iowa, Kingman, Arizona (don't forget Winona!) or Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan,

I fell in love with the circus as a child, and pursued a career in entertainment as an adult. Over the years, I've worked as an aerialist, clown, knife thrower and thrower, whip cracker, magician and mentalist.

For someone who already had a heightened interest in travel, my unusual career choices gave me the opportunity to do a lot of exploring. I've had the good fortune to visit every US state except Alaska (and I can't wait to get there) and every Canadian Province except the Northwest Territories.

Even when I stopped performing full time, I still couldn't resist the overseas gigs which allowed me to spend extensive time in Japan, The Philippines and The United Kingdom.

Which brings us around to this website. My business partner's interest in the internet and mine in travel, food and cooking seemed a natural match when we started Fabulous Foods in 1997. You, our readers, have made it grow beyond a hobby into the thriving online cooking community it is today. Thank you for visiting the site.

Fabulous Travel was born on March 20, 2001. I hope you come back often. We'll keep trying to bring you interesting travel destinations and tips and advice to make travel better and save you money.

In the meantime, feel free to drop me an email or even better, post a message to our message boards to share with all our readers.

All the best,

Cheri
