Hey friends, welcome to the Foodie In Wanderland blog! I’m Ilyssa Backer, a native Floridian with a passion for good food, traveling to new and interesting destinations, and all things Disney. Born in Hollywood, FL, I moved to Orlando in 2000 to pursue a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of Central Florida. After working in hotels and events for 12 years, I took on a new opportunity in Tampa, FL as a corporate event planner for a large beauty distributor. I am a Certified Wedding and Meeting Planner, and I love to create unique and exquisite event experiences. Here, you’ll read all about my experiences in food, travel, and the event planning world. Thanks for being here!
