Brazilian Candy Show

My dream job would be simple. I want to continue to do Candy Critic, write about candy, however I also want a big enough budget that I could attend every single candy trade show in the world. I’d travel around trying out treats and seeing cool sites all at the same time. If anybody wants to sponsor me I’m more than happy to pack my bags tomorrow. If anybody wants one of the greatest candy fanatics to speak at your show and are willing to pay for the travel and accommodations I’m all ears.
