I don't think I ever really doubted that I would become a writer. But I was also hit with the travel/tourism bug as an intern with the Greater Rome Convention and Visitors Bureau. For 25 years, I wrote for newspapers and worked in radio newsrooms across the South. My work received many accolades. One of the greatest experiences of my life was having former WSB-TV anchor Monica Pearson announce my name at the Georgia Association of Broadcasters awards ceremonies. Thirty years after that internship in tourism, I am combining my two passions. I am a digital nomad with a freelance writing job that allows me to work from anywhere. Right now, I am traveling across the South looking for interesting places and people to feature on my blog and in other publications. I have other trips outside of the South in the works for 2022. I am looking forward to getting to know more people with a heart for exploring their world.
