I leverage my travel experience—more than 100 countries over 20 years—to inform, inspire, entertain and empower other travelers. Some use the thousands of articles I've written to plan their own trips. Whether on the four websites I own, in popular travel magazines or in media put out by the world's top travel companies, my words and images have motivated literally millions of people to see the world. I've also personally helped thousands of travelers in my role as a travel consultant. Focused on (but not limited to) Asian countries like Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, my personalized travel itineraries empower even the most timid would-be travelers to hit the road with confidence. Here are just a few ways you can work with me: • Commission custom content: Hire me to produce travel writing or travel photography for your magazine or website. • Bring me on as a travel consultant: Whether for yourself or your company, leverage my expertise to take your trip to the next level. • Send me to your destination: Fly me to your city, state, province or country, and let me use my platforms to tell the world about it.
Over the past 15 years, I've helped millions of people plan trips all over the world, including several thousand via my personalized Travel Coaching service. Travelers from all around the world have found my content informative, insightful and inspiring, no matter which of the ~100 countries I write about they plan to visit.
