I'm a freelance writer and editor specializing in branded content in the adventure travel and outdoor industries. My work has been published by The New York Times, Travel Channel, Outside, Backpacker, HGTV, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, the REI Co-op Journal, Gossamer Magazine, and many others. I also write a newsletter about living abroad and working remotely called Out of Office. When I'm traveling, you're more likely to find me shooting with a film camera than a DSLR.
