From updating tourist guides for Fodor’s to highlighting places of interest for the New York Times InTransit blog and interviewing travel experts for features in the New York Times Travel section, I have the capacity to bring any destination to life through writing. This requires being able to actually experience it, and I have been extremely fortunate to be able to travel to many places and to learn first-hand what life is like in many areas of the world. By observing, asking questions, and learning from locals what life is like in their corner of the world, I am able to feature unique stories about destinations, even some you might consider off the beaten path.
