Recent travel articles I’ve published for CNN, NatGeo, USA Today, LA Times, and more

Over the last decade, I’ve written and published hundreds of travel stories for CNN, National Geographic, USA Today, LA Times, Washington Post, Lonely Planet, Fodor’s, Expedia, Orbitz, Frommers, Cool Material, and Travel Weekly. For the same period, I’ve been a weekly syndicated travel columnist for Paste Magazine and Utah newspapers, which has taken me to all 7 continents, over 55 countries, countless national parks, and hundreds of cities. In addition to my other published works, here are some of my favorite travel dispatches.
