About me

My day job for 22 years was editor of the Penn Stater—Penn State's alumni magazine—and I've won a bunch of awards for that work. But my passion is travel—and travel hosting, and travel writing, and travel photography. I've led trips, blogged about trips, written magazine columns about trips, and accumulated an extensive portfolio of travel and wildlife images (see www.flickr.com/tinahay/albums). One of my travel photos was judged Best in Show at Images 2016, a juried exhibition affiliated with the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. I have an occasional travel-and-photography blog at sites.psu.edu/tinahay.
