Monika Fuchs, a travel journalist, blogger, and author, co-founded and serves as chief editor of TravelWorldOnline. She manages the travel blog alongside her husband, Petar Fuchs, who specializes in video production for their content. Their work centers on "Slow Travel" and "Trips to Savor," advocating for immersive, authentic experiences that delve into local cultures and lifestyles. Her writing is informed by extensive experience, including seventeen years as a tour guide across North America, Central America, South Africa, Australia, and Europe. An academic background in ethnology, American cultural history, social and economic history, and art history fosters a deep interest in diverse cultures and their unique expressions. Her blogging journey, which began in the late 1990s, evolved into TravelWorldOnline, offering detailed insights for travelers seeking more than typical tourist highlights. The blog emphasizes regional customs, culinary specialties, and cultural immersion, reflecting a passion for gastronomy and exploring destinations through their food and wine. Authenticity is a priority; only destinations and experiences they have personally encountered are featured. TravelWorldOnline is recognized as a leading travel blog in Germany, particularly for food and wellness travel, and received the seventh Journalism Award in Ireland in 2019. Beyond her written work, she hosts a YouTube cooking channel, "Monika Fuchs kocht," and has been featured in SWR documentaries, showcasing her adventurous spirit and culinary explorations. Her professional philosophy encourages sustainable travel that fosters deeper understanding and interaction with local cultures.
