As a writer/photographer who specializes in travel, film, food, and the performing arts (dance, theatre, opera, street performance, etc), and the cultural aspects of "place", I tend to travel a great deal in search of stories. My destinations are not always exotic, but they are all engaging, interesting, and a limitless source of stories worth sharing.

Here's a list of where I've been and what I've done recently (in the past 12 months):

- Mardi Gras in 'The Big Easy' - I had an amazing time in New Orleans. Good food, good people, great parades, and the chance to see how this city manages to host such a big event and not actually lose control or its soul.

As a result of this trip, I'm working on features about Muriel's Jackson Square restaurant, Pat O'Brien's bar, Slim Goodies Diner, the St. Anne Parade, and family-friendly Mardi Gras tips for New Orleans. These will all appear on All About Mardi Gras in the next month to six weeks. (posted April 26, 2014)

- Mardi Gras in 'The Big Easy' - I'll be in NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana)from Friday, February 28, through Wednesday, March 5, 2014 to profile Mardi Gras parades, events, parties, and year-round travel attractions for All About Mardi Gras, as well as doing research for future print assignments.
