World Travel for Couples is not the only website to find my writing.  Check out these other sites to find more of my published travel articles, guest posts, and interviews.

The Wander Year-  The blog that started it all.  Here is the blog we kept while on our RTW trip.

BootsnAll- My professional writing career started with BootsnAll, when I innocently pitched an idea for an article in early 2010.  I have since been a regular contributor, and I will continue writing for this site as it is one we used most when planning for our round the world trip.  I really dig what they’re doing at Boots and am excited to be a part of their team.

I crunched the numbers on the No Baggage Challenge and then wrote about how much it would cost to do the same trip on a backpacker budget. Hint: it’s cheaper than you think!

Guest Posts

A big part of blogging and running your own travel website is becoming part of the travel and travel blogging community.  One thing we all like to do is guest post on each other’s blogs to give ourselves more exposure.  I have guest posted or been interviewed on several blogs over the last 6 months.  Check them out below.
