@danqdao Ironically DM'd you on Insta the other day with a Vietnam food question.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@rebexxxxa Truly confounding. Looking forward to reading your piece.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@weischoice Feels like there's a story to be reported there.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@rebexxxxa This is equal parts scary and upsetting.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@drclairetaylor I think it depends upon what community the American you're speaking of comes from.

@ChristineLozada Naxos, Greece. I showed up too early and the airport wasn't even open.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@kludt Congrats!

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@tomstanleyphl @monicroqueta Oh, I'd love this if you're willing to share.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@BenParker90 @Independent @IndyTravel Congrats! I'd love to hear what sort of pitches you're looking for. Thanks!

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@ra_ferrell @sabinaposts Agreed. The friend showed their support by buying and reading the book (thanks!) and now they're sharing it with others, that's lovely.

@shermanelis Someone at a party the other day: "So can I call you Deb?" Me: "My name is Devra" Them: "So, Dev?" Me: "I only tolerate that from my siblings, thanks." What I wanted to say: "You just met me, why do you think my name is anything other than what I just said it was?"

@sjcgillespie I used to use Tape-A-Call Pro. Not sure how good it is these days. I mostly interview on Zoom these days because it's so much easier to record.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@nickytrup @GlenMutel How exciting! Are you open to pitches? If so, would love to hear a bit about what you're looking for. I'm a food and travel writer with over 15 years of experience.

@LauraScholz @OpenTable Congrats! I'd love to hear what type of pitches you're looking for from writers. Thanks!

@SaraSchon True story, a friend's grandmother literally ran away from a convent with the brick layer.

@smoothdude Wildair — no doubts.

@svershbow I have practically given up on asking men to pick when and where we are going to meet. I simply pick a place and tell them.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@Heather_Poole The last time I packed my own meal for the plane.

[Devra Ferst (she/her) @devraferst]

@thedigitalyenta Two fried eggs and a pile of arugula with a bit of olive oil and salt.

@weischoice I'm a firm believer that Friday is the best night for just about anything fun.
