Adventure Explore Discover is all about my curiosity about the world and seeing as much of it as possible. I love discovering new (to me) destinations that can open me up to new experiences and adventures. Whether I’m touring museums, archeological sites or medieval towns, I try to learn about the stories of the places I visit.
A little bit about me
I am an adventurer, a culture vulture and a history buff who loves discovering new and exciting destinations. I grew up in Toronto, Canada and now live in Italy, a land of ancient ruins, glorious scenery, culinary delights and amazing art. It’s a place that speaks to me and checks off all the things I look for in a destination.
The stories of myths, legends and anything in the past have inspired me to read as much as possible and learn about the places I’ve read about. This passion led me to a degree in history and certificates in communication and economic development. The skills I’ve developed through my studies have allowed me to develop a unique blend of knowledge and storytelling skills that breathe life into every destination I visit. What makes me different, and why should you work with me?
I have a degree in history, which has helped me understand other cultures and their stories, as well as the many events that have shaped them over time.
Studying communication has helped me improve my writing and create effective writing pieces that speak to different audiences. I have worked various jobs that allowed me to write for different audiences and fields, from hospitality, retail and marketing to law and business development.
I spent over 10 years working for different government organizations in economic development. My roles included everything from business attractions and destination marketing to tourism promotion and sector development. This makes me uniquely positioned to understand what it takes to develop tourism strategies to promote destinations and attract visitors.
Why Should You Work with Me?
These days, travellers look for authentic stories and experiences online before considering a destination. They frequently turn to travel blogs and social media to look for honest reviews and opinions. Travel writers like me are often perceived as more authentic and trustworthy than traditional advertising, making me the perfect partner to help build trust with potential visitors considering visiting your destination or using your services. Here is how:
Authentic and personal perspective: As a travel blogger, I offer a genuine and unique perspective on any destinations I visit. I connect with my readers on a deeper level through my firsthand experiences, stories and emotions. This authenticity resonates with travellers who seek genuine and unique travel experiences.
Engaged and targeted audience: I have built an engaged and targeted audience specifically interested in travel, exploration and new experiences. By partnering with me, you can tap into this captive audience and effectively promote your destination to a highly receptive and relevant demographic.
Storytelling and emotional connection: As a skilled storyteller, I know how to craft narratives that captivate and inspire. The writing enables me to connect readers and a destination emotionally. This emotional resonance can be a powerful motivator for travellers to choose a particular destination for their next adventure.
