Interview
How is social media changing news?
You really have to do your due diligence to determine what is factual, given the rapid speed at which it's delivered.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
Zoom for face-to-face, and Otterly for recording and transcribing the conversation.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
Afar, Conde Nast Traveler, The Atlantic, Bon Appétit, The Guardian, Good Grit, Wildsam, and NYT.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
As a travel writer, people think I'm always on vacation. In reality, if I'm out of town, I'm working. I'm busy looking for the angle.
