A travel and food writer that bridges storytelling and service journalism

I like to craft stories that connect people to place, culture, and experience. Ultimately, my goal is to give readers both inspiration to dream and information to plan. My portfolio covers a range of articles that explores the world through its diverse landscapes, rich traditions, amazing flavors and exciting adventures — from cycling the wild coastlines of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides to savoring indigenous foods of New Mexico, tracing the heritage of Colorado’s historic guest ranches to sailing the high seas aboard a tall clipper ship.

My writing specialties include active and outdoor travel, mostly journeys that get you moving; cultural and culinary experiences that bring destinations and people to life; as well as sustainable and eco-conscious travel that reveals responsible and fun ways to visit places. I have an open-door policy that leads my curiosity to explore all types of angles.

Over the years, my work has appeared in publications such as AFAR, Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, AARP Magazine and Travel Online, Adventure Cyclist, Hemispheres, The Denver Post, Go World Travel, Fodor’s Travel, Hemispheres, Sierra, TravelAge West, Saturday Evening Post, American Way, and American Cowgirl. I also authored the guidebook Best Easy Day Hikes Oklahoma City for Falcon Guides.
