Travel + Place

My travel writing tends to focus on the great outdoors and the communities that surround those locations. I love to write about small towns and lesser-shared regions. I look to highlight the best local eats, adventures, characters, and hidden stories that make each place shine.

I have local expertise in the following places, having lived in each for multiple years:

  • East Tennessee—specifically, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Sevierville, Knoxville, and the Great Smoky Mountains

  • South Dakota—specifically, Custer, Rapid City, the Badlands, and the Black Hills

  • Oregon—specifically, Eugene/Springfield and southern Oregon

  • Washington, D.C.—including the surrounding metropolitan area

  • California—specifically, far northern California and Redwood National and State Parks

I have additional expertise in Everglades National Park and its surrounding communities from several years of extended travel through the area.

You can find some clips of my past travel writing below. I’m available for assignments, press trips, and more, so please reach out! I’d love to collaborate on your travel writing needs.
