I'm fired up on:

Travel writing, discovering galleries, architecture, liberal politics, gardening, reading (fiction and non-fiction), animals, wine, cooking dinner (breakfast, not so much), planning trips with my husband, friends, and family, TV (Lost, Mad Men, 30 Days, Stephen Colbert, Eastenders, Independent Lens, American Experience, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Top Chef)

Tunes I rock out to:

Zero 7, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Costello, The Shins, Elliott Smith, Feist, Suzanne Vega, Morcheeba, Miguel Bose, and stuff I discover while traveling

Travel style:

I like to travel with my husband. I research and book ahead of time, but leave myself open to adventure and changing my mind. We tend to drive, get out and discover something for awhile, drive some more...A trip generally means at least two different parts of a country, and while we pack light, we occasionally stay in a fancy hotel to spoil ourselves.

Quote:

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. ~ Ray Bradbury

Sports I do:

Is Pilates a sport? Or walking my corgi?

Favorite artist(s):

Mucha, Joseph Campbell, Ron Mueck, Liz McGrath

Favorite books:

The Martian Chronicles, The World Without Us

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

People with their area/country's version of a sense of humor

I want to make a difference by:

Sharing art that makes people laugh and think. Also, getting people interested in what makes a place unique in the world and about what matters to people there.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Nothing fluently, sadly - small amounts of Spanish, Greek, Italian, and Balinese

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

Whenever I've eaten something entirely new to me, maybe even at a very later hour, while surrounded by people of all ages.

Why I travel:

Because I have to know what's there.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Haleakala on Maui

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

From a seaside cafe chair in the Cinque Terre

Before I die I'd like to:

Have accomplished more, see my nephew and nieces grow up and find some happiness, and see all of the places on my dream list with my husband.

Let's collaborate:

I'm a travel blog writer looking to collaborate with travel publications that need stories about couples' travel. Also, if you'd like me to write some blog posts about your own couples' trips, I'd love to hear about them!
