I am a freelance travel and food writer. My cat-like curiosity has lead me along the path of many discoveries that I enjoy sharing with others in the form of consumer and professional magazines, online and other print publications. My freelance articles appear in regional and national and publications to include: Women's Adventure magazine, American Cowboy, Rocky Mountain Sports Magazine, Denver Life magazine, Backpacker, Zone 4, Edible Santa Fe, Elevation Outdoors, National Geographic Traveler, TravelAge West, Relish and American Profile magazines to name a few. Online articles appear in Away.com, Examiner.com, TangoDiva.com, NewWest.net and Womensadventuremagazine.com. My first hiking guide was published by A Falcon Guide in July 2012. "Best Easy Day Hikes--Oklahoma City." Specialties: Adventure travel, sustainable tourism and lifestyle, as well as cultural food and wine writing are my favorite topics. I served as the first travel editor for Women's Adventure magazine located in Boulder, Colorado.
