I began my career as a journalist covering religion and education, and then moved into travel. I frequently connect my travel writing to issues of climate change, sustainability, and stories that impact social issues. I also cover unique or luxury stays. My work involves extensive interviews (domestic and global), research, and editing. My travel byline appears in The Daily Beast (regular contributor), Business Insider, and Sierra Magazine. My photography is frequently featured in my travel pieces. My byline also appears in The Religion News Service, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and The Huffington Post (among others).

Covering travel, religion, and politics with engaging analysis, reporting, and commentary, my passion is answering the “so what?” question that every reader asks. Experienced with press trips.
