Happy to connect!muckrack.com/daria-smithhidariasmith@gmail.comI’m always on the hunt for a good story. I explore life below the Mason-Dixon line, through the fare and traditions of the South. Meanwhile, I pen my experiences in sporting, travel, and food to paper. I’m not interested in big cities—but off-the-beaten-path gems in quaint towns. I have meaningful conversations with purveyors and artisans along the way. Like a bird dog, I'm loyal and dedicated to my craft.PRs: Please email me with an introduction about the clients you represent and request pitch guidelines.
