Welcome! I'm a freelance travel and lifestyle writer lucky enough to live in one of the greatest cities in the world, San Francisco. My articles have been featured in the Los Angeles Times and on the popular Bay Area blog 7x7.com, among other venues.

At a bit past the mid point in my life—knock on wood—I'm keeping my glass half full by filling it with more of what makes me happy: travel, exploring the world outside my front door, getting out in nature, and spending time with family and friends. Exercise, coffee, ice cream and the occasional attitude adjustment also help.

While I'm a fan of simple pleasures, I'm not opposed to indulging in a little luxury every now and then. (I have a soft spot for stylish hotels).

This blog is where I share—sometimes sporadically—my adventures on the road and closer to home. Thanks for stopping by.
