Tiffany D. Smith is a journalist, world traveler, mentor and foodie from Chicago, IL. After spending 16 years working in live TV News, she decided to launch The Love of Food & Travel LLC to inspire kids to see the world. She fell in love with travel after receiving her first passport stamp in her late 30's and has since become passionate about teaching kids from underserved communities the benefits of experiencing other cultures. She holds a Masters Degree in Journalism and a Bachelor's Degree in Radio & Television Production from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Her work has been published in xoNecole, Blackdoctor.org and The Chicago Defender.

In her free time, Tiffany loves reading books on spirituality, doing yoga and spending time with family and friends.
