Based in World
As a seasoned travel writer and guidebook author, I've dedicated my life to exploring and sharing the wonders of the world. With over 40 guidebooks under my belt for renowned publishers like Berlitz, Frommer's, and Lonely Planet, I've had the privilege of guiding millions of travelers through destinations spanning from Belize to Turkey. My passion extends beyond just listing sights; I aim to immerse you in the culture, history, and unique experiences each place has to offer. My journey began with a love for history, which led me to travel writing. I believe that understanding the past is key to appreciating the present, and I weave historical context into my guides to enrich your travel experience. Whether it's wandering through ancient ruins or savoring local cuisine, I encourage you to delve deep and connect with the heart of each destination. Beyond guidebooks, I've also penned a memoir, "Turkey: Bright Sun, Strong Tea," which offers a personal glimpse into my adventures and misadventures on the road. From sipping champagne in a sultan's palace to navigating unexpected encounters, I share my stories with humor and honesty. My goal is to inspire you to embrace the unknown, step outside your comfort zone, and create your own unforgettable travel memories.
