Brand Collaborations & Sponsored Travel Storytelling

I’m a lifelong writer with more than twenty years’ professional experience in writing for newspapers, magazines, and online outlets. I’ve started a blog for a major designer from the ground up, and have in-depth knowledge of the nuances of print and digital. I welcome the opportunity for brand collaborations with coastl, waterside, and water-adjacent destinations, as well as sponsored travel storytelling for tourism brands who want to connect with travelers in search of more meaningful and memorable experiences—and cultivate repeat visits.

I’m just as happy covering the unexpected and under-the-radar destinations large magazines skip as I am traveling to world-famous locations. I uncover the small details that make a destination come alive, to create stories that stay in the traveler’s imagination long after she’s finished reading.

Every place has a story. I tell it in a way that feels fresh, authentic, and exciting.
