About me

With more than 20 years of travel writing under my bling-y belt, I understand the expectations of the leisure traveler and write to those expectations. From destinations to tours to cruises and luxury resorts, my articles cover the world: across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Central America, South America and Europe.

I write for UrbanMatter, Orbitz, Travelocity, Splash Magazines Worldwide and Red Tricycle, which get almost one million hits per month. My work has also appeared in Food/Wine/Travel, DeSoto Magazine, Boomer Magazine, Highland Park Landmark, JUF News, Modern Jewish Experience, Senior Skiing, Travel Ticket and more.

You’ll also find my stories in the Chicago Tribune, LA Times, USA Today, Lakeland Boating, New York Lifestyles, Resident.com, six–00-three-five magazine and Group Tour.

I am a proud member of Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) and International Food Wine Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA).
