Fyllis Hockman’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Fyllis Hockman is a multi-award-winning travel journalist who has been traveling and writing for over 30 years -- and is still as eager for the next trip as she was for the first. Her articles appear in newspapers across the country and websites across the internet. When not traveling, she is almost as happy watching plays or movies, working out and sitting on a bar stool next to her travel-writing husband.
