About me

Travel and writing are two words that have resonated with me from a wee age. I spent my first year out of college working for the elite travel firm, Academic Arrangements Abroad. (arrangementsabroad.wordpress.com/2014/11/03/meet-olivia-balsinger/). While participating on FAM trips for the firm, I would write for Yahoo Travel. (www.yahoo.com/travel/the-best-decision-i-ever-made-a-4-day-solo-104687426649.html). I then started bringing my travel to a new level--left my 9-5 desk job to travel write full time for the trade publication, travAlliance media. I have since written about 15 full spreads of 2,000 plus words each for Agent@Home and Vacation Agent Magazines and have represented as a freelance journalist in more than 15 countries. Keen on further exploring this beautiful world and writing about it. Based in New York City when not on the road.
