TRAVIS JOHNSON
FOODIE,
BALOO EATS
Travis was born and raised in Orlando, FL and started his Instagram food page, @baloo_eats, in 2020 during the pandemic. A phrase that he has said since he was a child is, "Food is my life!", and his love for food shows that!  Since he started his IG, he's met wonderful content creators, restaurant management, chefs, and owners! He loves to talk about the Mom and Pop businesses as he believes that they provide the true essence of feeding the community what we want. He's also a Yelp Elite, and has been since 2016! When he's out capturing food pics, and creating videos, he's known for filming himself reacting to the food so you know what it tastes like, and not just knowing what it looks like, and saying his slogan, "I'm Diggin in"!

HAMPTON  MCKNIGHT
REALTOR,
321 rEALTY
Hampton was born in Mississippi. His taco journey truly began with his  travel nursing career which included Los Angeles, Tucson, Austin, etc. Life brought him to FL with a college friend in 1991, he swore he would live here in FL and finally did starting in the early 2000’s. Settling in St Augustine, there were only a couple taco spots, by the time he left and moved to Satellite Beach in 2019, tacos in St Aug had flourished. Like anyone he had his favorites, always the ones that had that “special” something, be it in its most basic street taco form to some of today's unique and forward thinking constructs. He has yet to lose a stare-down to a taco and he doesn't plan to start today! He's proud to be representing 321 Realty, which can be found on FB & IG @321realty, at this annual event.

ANDREA SAGE
FOODIE,
CHEATDAYORL
Andrea loves highlighting many of the amazing local restaurants on Instagram and TikTok, as well as things to do around the greater Orlando area!  Andrea Sage was inspired to create her social media platforms during maternity leave with her son.  When he was a newborn, all that was needed to calm him down was a car ride to the closest coffee shop or bakery.  What also fueled her page was the concept of earning your "cheat days" with delicious meals after long hours in the gym and many calories burned.  Andrea was a former D1 collegiate athlete and played international soccer while travelling the world, so she is no stranger to working off the calorie intake and finding the perfect meal to indulge in!  You can find her food blog on Instagram and TikTok at @CheatDayOrl
