I specialize in essays, adventure, luxury travel, lifestyle, and profiles. My stories have taken me to 101 countries on six continents, but I also love to write about my home, New York City.

My photos have appeared in Distinction, Elite Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, Art & Antiques, Executive Traveler, and my photo of Sir Richard Branson is on the inside cover of a special Virgin Atlantic Airways brochure.

I write mainly for national magazines and am a contributing writer for Elite Traveler and Art & Antiques, and a senior contributor to Executive Traveler. I am a published novelist and my essays appear in Traveler’s Tales, A Wild Adventure Anthology, The Walker Within, and Travelers Tales.

I am the winner of the 2008 First Person/Essay ASJA (American Society of Journalists & Authors) Award, a winner of the 2008 NATJA (North American Travel Journalism Association) Award, a Solas Awards winner (Travelers Tales), and a two-time Travel Classics winner for Best Essay.

When I’m not writing, traveling, or exploring Central Park and other NYC neighborhoods, I run, bike, hike, practice my French and try out my bad Spanish.
