Lets Work Together
I believe that life is a patchwork of experiences that should be shared.
I am a retired Ph.D. chemist with a lifelong passion for travel, photography, and quilting. Traveling the world is one of my deepest passions which continues to add to my ever growing quilt of life experiences. I like to focus my traveling lens on history, art, architecture, nature, cruising, and soft adventure with a touch of luxury.
Writing for Quiltripping.com
My website is a labor of love where I share my travel experiences to inspire others to go outside their comfort zones and experience the world. Quality writing and engaging photography are my first priority. I only write about the places where I have traveled, so all my content reflects personal and authentic experiences.
I like to say that I write because I travel. I want my content to inspire others to travel, and to be a useful, honest, and a dependable resource. I do not and never will have ads. I don’t accept sponsored content or guest posts. I also don’t have affiliate links so will never promote something just to get that income.
The stories I write for my site are also SEO optimized to insure long term searchability with Google and other search engines. However, I do not sacrifice quality writing or photography in favor of SEO. In fact, I try very hard to produce an engaging post that also makes the Google gods happy. (See my awards for writing and photography below). I continuously work to update my content so that it is evergreen.
Freelance Writing
I also look for opportunities to promote the brands I work with by writing freelance articles for other sites/publications. You can find the complete list on my Bylines page.
I am a regular contributor to the website SheBuysTravel, a website that serves the needs of women who travel, whether they travel solo, with significant others, with girlfriends or with kids. Website stats for the last 12 mos: UMV: 2.2 million, Pageviews: 3.2 million. In addition, the content is syndicated to 30 McClatchy newspapers and online at MSN.com. McClatchy operates 30 daily newspapers in fourteen US states and has an average weekday circulation of 2.2 million and Sunday circulation of 2.8 million.
I also do regular podcasts and articles for BigBlendRadioandTV.com. They promote their podcasts across a variety of channels and get over 100,000 listeners a month.
You can see all my articles, including my syndicated stories on my Muck Rack profile under the Articles section.
