About D. Ebener

As a lifelong traveler and food storyteller, I founded Food Blogger Journey to celebrate meaningful travel, cultural connection, and the stories that linger long after the suitcase is unpacked. After more than forty years of exploring Europe, Asia, and beyond, my travels have evolved from simply collecting experiences to seeking intention, depth, and moments that invite reflection.

​

Food has always opened the door for me. Savoring local meals, wandering vibrant markets, and gathering at shared tables have revealed the heart of a place and its people in ways no itinerary ever could, shaping both my journeys and my storytelling.

​

Travel That Makes Sense - Slow Down. Go Deeper, Come Home Different was born from this personal evolution. I wrote it for those ready to return to travel, to redefine it, or to embrace deeper, more meaningful journeys in this chapter of life. At its core, the book champions the idea that travel after 50 is not about endlessly ticking off destinations, but about seeking out experiences that genuinely matter.
