Rich Rubin has written fiction for decades. He also spent thirty years writing about travel and food (the best job in the world, literally), with over 1000 stories in print in such publications as Travel & Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, Passport Magazine (where he served as Food & Wine Editor), Saveur, Bride’s, Caribbean Travel & Life, The Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and Out and About.

 

He has counted turtle eggs on the island of Culebra, seen the midnight sun in Norway, and interviewed the chefs at the Nobel Prize banquet, as well as hair braiders in Jamaica, tattoo artists in Tahiti, and the one and only musical legend Martha Reeves. He has ridden a dog sled on a frozen lake in Sweden, a camel in the Tunisian desert, and a llama in rural Argentina.

 

His theater work as playwright and director has been seen in New York, Philadelphia, Seattle, and San Francisco. He lives in Sonoma County, California.
