I believe they help tell my story and bring my reader into the experience. GG ~ I take photos and always submit a photo-essay with my articles. TPM ~ Do you take photos or videos of your travels? If so, do you include them with stories? I want to discover more of the USA – it is a country I love and appreciate. I feel that this is a spiritual awakening walk I need to try. Costa Rica – I want to visit and relax! Spain – I am hoping to walk the entire El Camino. GG ~ Germany – my family history is there. TPM ~ What destinations are on your must-see list, and why? Simply Saratoga, Saratoga Family, Healthy Saratoga, MilesGeek, Inbound Destinations, Saratoga Bride, Short Weeks-Long Weekends, Saratoga Home and Garden, Saratoga Today (newspaper), Saratoga Mama, Fiji Air, Farming Magazine – those are just a handful. GG ~ I have been published many places on the web, in print, and even have an in-flight magazine under my belt. TPM ~ Where have you been published? Print? Web? My editor and I were hosted there and pampered beyond belief in exchange for coverage. The second story was about The Perfect Girlfriend Getaway… to Turning Stone Casino. It was amazing – a feature we run every issue. We didn’t order off the menu – the owners hosted us and brought what they wanted us to highlight in the article. The first was about a Mexican restaurant, Cantina on Broadway. GG ~ I had two stories in the Spring 2020 issue of Simply Saratoga. TPM ~ What and where was your last byline? I wish I had printed it out for myself – a mistake that never happened again! The story was published in an online magazine no longer in business. When I got home, I did some research, called the owner, and went back for an interview. I began writing about it during GEP’s 2013 UTWW in Boston. GG ~ My first story was about a gas station that had been converted to an Australian coffee shop called Cuppacoffee. TPM ~ What and where was your first byline? GG ~ I began to travel writing in 2013, after attending two Great Escapes Publishing (GEP) workshops. I work at our local YMCA but am moving closer to full-time travel writing soon. TPM ~ Is travel writing your full-time job?
