About
I'm an award-winning travel writer, but started my career in news with the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier-Journal, where I served on a Pulitzer Prize team. I'm an eight-time Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award winner, and was honored for editing the best newspaper travel section in North America for the Dallas Morning News. I also was Travel Editor of Coastal Living magazine for Time Inc.
I write a column for USA Today and contribute to the Los Angeles Times, BBC, Better Homes & Gardens, the Washing Post, Delta Sky, Afar, Westways, Southbound, CNN, and others.
I've helped produce several National Geographic books, and created CivilRightsTravel.com..
