What makes people decide where to travel? Chances are, they were influenced by an article they read or photos they saw. As an experienced writer and solo traveler, I create content that goes beyond just giving readers the essential travel information they need. I know how to bring destinations to life by telling an interesting story about a location’s history, geography, or people.
My passion for exploring new places has taken me all over the world, as both a working journalist and a solo traveler. From a month-long solo trip around New Zealand, to exploring Aitutaki Atoll in the Cook Islands, to hiking the canyons of the Southwest, I’ve learned how to truly experience an area, rather than just visiting the well-known tourist sites.
My experience includes an array of travel topics, including outdoor adventure, national parks, solo travel, and budget travel. My articles have appeared in both print and online publications including AAA Explorer Midwest (formerly Midwest Motorist), Moab Happenings, Boca Raton Magazine, Our State: Celebrating North Carolina, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, and others. I’m also the author of Utah Canyon Country: 20 Must-See Sites and Short Hikes, a full-color guidebook that received a gold medal in the 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY).
As a landscape photographer, I routinely provide photos with my article submissions and am also available to work on assignment for specific photo needs. To see samples of my work, visit my image galleries.
