Blogging:
My blog profiles people over 50 who have positive attitudes about aging, and love to travel. My specialty is wine and food travel.
Content Creation:
I am an experienced travel writer with a certificate in Journalism, seeking regular travel, food and wine writing. A while back I created content for Quench and Canadian Traveller, among other publications. For Quench, I wrote about wine, spirits, and food. My most recent article was for Wandering with Wonder about women winemakers in Austria. I also wrote an article on pairing wine and cupcakes. I have the Level 2 Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) certification and worked at the LCBO.

Hi Kateryna. I'm interested in beginner photography and other specific sessions. I'd also like to learn about video editing. And I'd like to learn more about blogging. Which platforms to use and creating a blog that works.
