He is an artist turned businessman who runs WYNK Marketing and dabbles in illustration, graphic design, web design and marketing campaigns. When he isn\u2019t out doing any of that, he seeks refuge in his cave and turns out his Friday Joke mailing known as Raoul\u2019s TGIF Jokes. People from all over the world send him jokes and Raoul sends those jokes back with his original sketches. Some of his cartoons grace the pages of Traveling Boy. He enjoys traveling but, more than the places, he enjoys the people he meets. One day he hopes to fulfill his promise to his wife \u2014 to bring her to Italy and the rest of Europe.","sameAs":["http:\/\/travelingboy.com"],"url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/tboyadmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33772,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33752\/revisions\/33772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
