Travel

I am looking for opportunities to make travel writing a regular part of my repertoire, because I do travel (five continents), and I do write for the kinds of audiences who read travel stuff.

• Two Weeks in Kenya: Seeing the World’s Inequities Up Close (Bloom Magazine)

I wrote a series of visitor’s guide articles about Yosemite National Park for a well-known travel web site. And as a magazine journalist, I write about destinations — for example:

• This Caribbean Island Aims to Exemplify ‘Resilience Building’ Amid Climate Change (Dominica)

• Giving Back to Africa Board Members See Fruits of Their Efforts in Congo

• These Watering Holes Are for Grownups (Bloomington, Indiana)

• Rawhide Ranch: An Old West Experience in Nashville, Indiana

If you need travel content, here’s what I offer:

• Insatiable curiosity about people and places. I’ve traveled in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and across the US and Canada. I share my experiences, and occasionally even advice, at the travel-oriented social media site Trippy. Follow me there. I advise Operation Crossroads Africa, a not-for-profit that sends student groups from the US to Africa each summer, on communications and social media strategy.

• Popular audience writing chops. I can engage, inform and entertain a consumer readership.

• An eye for visuals. I’m not a professional photographer, but sometimes the writer is the only one on the scene, and I’m reasonably handy with a camera.

Try me.
