3.When you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera,the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away.Hey.stop!This is no vacation-yon have to finish something!Here lies the problem fat travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim."I always loved traveling and always liked to eat,but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things."Jarolim said.Now you can read her travel advice everywhere-in Arts and Antiques.in Brides.or in one of her three books.The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began Some eight years ago.After getting a PhD in English in Canada.she took a test for Frommer's travel guides,passed it,and got the job.After working at Frommer's,Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London,then Fodor's,where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S.that she moved there.
