Travel Articles

I also do a lot of travel writing, both for LA.com, as well as a few other web sites. So if you have a moment, please take a look at some of my articles.

For the Travel Section of LA.com, I have written guides to Napa and Sonoma Valley, as well as a San Diego Hotels Guide.

Here is my humongous, though far from comprehensive, guide to Napa Valley in two parts:

1. Napa and Yountville: http://www.la.com/ci_11396603

2. St. Helena and Calistoga: http://www.la.com/ci_11395595


Here is my guide to Sonoma: http://www.la.com/ci_11397366

In my new career as a freelance travel writer, I started out by submitting pieces on my trip to South America in October 2007 to a few different web sites. You can check them out here.
This is a hotel review and city guide of Buenos Aires: http://intravelmag.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=258&Itemid=10058

Here is another hotel review and city guide, of Santiago, Chile: http://www.vezeo.com/2007/11/26/view-the-andes-from-chiles-hip-hotel-del-patio/


And, finally, here is a review I wrote for HotelChatter.com as part of their VIP Reviewer Series. They asked me to write a review of one of my favorite hotels, so I chose the charming little Hotel Le Clos Medicis in Paris: http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/16/14615/6774/hotels/Shhh_Don_t_Tell_Anyone_About_the_Hotel_Le_Clos_Medicis

Well, that's enough of my travel stories to throw at you for now. If you have a moment to read any of them, I'd love to know what you think!
