Kelly Stilwell

Travel and food writer Kelly Stilwell moved to Florida in 2009 from Maryland where she grew up. Shortly after the move, she started the popular blog, Food, Fun & Faraway Places. Since that time, Kelly has visited 40 countries and 5 continents, from Raja Ampat in Indonesia to Sicily, Italy. In each destination, she discovers a new recipe or spice to try at home. You'll find many of those recipes on Food, Fun & Faraway Places. In 2023, Reedy Press contacted Kelly to see if she would be interested in writing about bucket list things to do in her neighborhood of beautiful Sarasota/Bradenton, and the surrounding area. A little over a year later, 100 Things To Do in Sarasota Before You Die will be released July 15th. If you haven't explored this beautiful part of the world, we hope you'll take this book along as your guide. There's so much to see and so little time. Enjoy the journey!
