I’m a freelance writer based in Atlanta, but as mama used to say, I don’t let any moss grow under my feet. Traveling and writing are the passions that fuel me, and pairing them makes me happier than should be legal. I’ve written for everyone from Travel & Leisure to National Geographic, but there’s a special place in my heart for local journalism—it is hometown love expressed through words and photos, and if I’m any good at it, it draws others to stop and appreciate what is so great about their state.When I’m not sampling food and drink, hiking, kayaking, and horseback riding, I’m at home with my hubs and the best dog in the world.
