Lifestyle and Travel Writing

In the travel space, I’ve written about places such as Virginia wine country, Spain’s Basque Country, a luxury resort in Anguilla, Abu Dhabi’s Empty Quarter and an arty town in Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley. In the lifestyle space, I’ve penned pieces about British design, chocolate and courtyards, featured public figures like Rodney Scott and Shantell Martin, and shared my story about a family recipe with roots in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, not far from where I grew up in Berks County.

One of the highlights of my journalism career thus far has been my interview with Samantha Brown, one of the travel world’s most beloved on-air hosts.

Below you can find a selection my work. My photography appears in some of the travel stories I write.
