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.
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.
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 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.

What you get in return:
