Interview

Why did you become a journalist?

I believe the more places we experience and the more stories we can tell, the better people we become.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Start small and build a side hustle while keeping your "day job." After you've built up some clients and a reputation – take the plunge!

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

Hitting the slopes or going for a run.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

Nomadic Matt is my go-to travel page.
