Who Is Brenda, Anyway?
Who am I?
I'm a businesswoman, Chef, writer and traveler. I've done entertainment marketing for a couple of major companies. I had a successful consulting business in high tech for many years. I auditioned for a cooking show but lost out to a woman who knew more ways to prepare blue potatoes than I did. I started a little dessert business in 2000 called Svoboda Confections, and opened Brenda Knows Travel in 2007.
But what I really enjoy is bringing my adventures to life. I only write about the places I personally know, hoping to give enough detail to encourage others to visit those places too. My preference is to travel in style. Who wouldn't? Hostels are fine for some, but not for me. Being "in the business" saves me money on the travel I already do and reminds me that there is life outside of the tiny little town I now live in.
It's fascinating to visit a place for the first time, like Cairo, and feel as if I've been there before. Or hike up the hill of the Acropolis, made slippery by millions of footsteps, to the Parthenon. It makes me wonder what the US might look like in a thousand years. I've mostly traveled solo, though it's much more fun with a companion. If I waited for someone else to have the time or money to go along for the ride I'd spend a lot more time at home.
Travel runs in the family. One sister lives in Costa Rica, one niece lived in Vienna, I've lived in Saudi Arabia and Mom's passport is always current.
