I'm a blogger and journalist who wears many hats like so many in the industry today! I've lived in Italy in the past and am based in New York now, but am nomadic most of the year, primarily in different cities and wonderful countryside destinations are Europe. My primary focus area that permeates all my writing is cultural travel: how can you go to a place and experience its essence rather than see the "sights" while staying in your own cultural framework and language?

I'm also the founder of Dream of Travel Writing, a company that creates products and services to help travel writers grow their income, and creator of the Travel Magazine Database, a subscription site filled with hundreds of breakdowns of exactly how freelancer writers and PRs can pitch travel magazines from around the world.
