I am a freelance writer specializing travel, culture, and lifestyle. My travel writing tends to focus on green travel, geo/cultural tourism, low-impact adventure travel, nature, and sustainable communities. I also write fiction and am searching for a home for a recently completed literary novel entitled Salvation.
