JON BUSDEKER
Storyteller
As a veteran, award-winning newspaper and television journalist, I've been telling stories and shooting video for nearly 15 years.
​
Stories have the power to change attitudes, change perceptions and change lives.
Now the official Storyteller of the Orange County Sheriff's Office, I have the opportunity to highlight the brave men and women of Central Florida's largest law enforcement agency.
Orlando is known as the Theme Park Capital of the World, but did you know there is so much more to Central Florida than Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld? The region is home to some of the world s most unique restaurants, events, attractions and activities. The Third Edition of the 100 Things to Do in Orlando Before You Die is an insider's guide to what makes Orlando so special. Did you know you can go zip-lining over alligators at Gatorland? Did you know the region's largest concentration of pinball machines is at The Pinball Lounge? Have you ever been to Lee & Rick's Oyster Bar, one of the oldest restaurants in Central Florida? Whether you're a resident or a visitor to Orlando, the 100 Things to Do in Orlando Before You Die (3rd Edition) will help you discover the real Orlando.
The new edition is co-authored by Jon Busdeker and Brendan O'Connor.
