Merle Rosenstein

Merle Rosenstein is a travel writer based in Toronto, Canada, who has followed family members around the globe. Her father's career took her from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to Winnipeg and Toronto to Florida, California, and Hawaii (Oahu and Big Island), and points in between. Her daughters live in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Vancouver, B.C. In between family visits, Merle is exploring Southeast Asia. She has Level 2 Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) certification, and has toured wineries in Chile, chomped on chicken with cashews in Chiang Mai, and lost a water bottle to a wayward monkey in Ao Nang.
