For some people, a luxury vacation means a vacation not only from their home and their job, but also a vacation from a healthy lifestyle. A holiday gives them the freedom to indulge and an excuse to forgo the daily workout. As a travel writer, I travel a lot and don’t want to see the hard work and discipline I put into being healthy at home evaporate over one too many slices of chocolate caramel cheesecake. For me travel is all about indulging in unique experiences I can’t have at home, exploring different cultures and meeting new people.
As a former college tennis player my dream was to combine my passion for the game with my journalism degree. I interned with Tennis Magazine right after I graduated from college and then continued to write for it and several other tennis publications. After I got married and moved to Arizona I took a job as managing editor of a health and fitness magazine and eventually moved into freelance health and fitness writing. Several years ago I decided to combine my love and knowledge of travel and spas with my writing and have focused on luxurious healthy travel writing ever since.
