Travel Writing Samples
If you’re looking for an experienced freelance travel writer, you’re in the right place. Travel is a big passion of mine. When I was 26, I packed up my apartment, put everything into storage, and moved to South Korea. I signed a one-year teaching contract, but enjoyed the experience so much that I signed on for a second year. During that time, I had the opportunity to travel all over Asia. This chapter of my life changed how I see the world and turned me into a lifelong traveler and adventurer.
For nearly 12 years, I have traveled extensively around the world and had the privilege of working as a professional travel writer, weaving real-world experiences and tried-and-true tips into my work. I specialize in teaching others how to travel more without ignoring their financial goals by using credit card points and miles, flight deals, and other money-saving travel hacks. I'm available for content ideation, writing, and strategy, and I also source and interview industry experts for reported pieces.
Here are some travel writing projects I've worked on:
