I am a happily retired business and computer technology teacher, a freelance travel writer, photographer, food and wine lover from South Carolina’s Grand Strand. I love history and learning about the culture of places I visit, including the local flavors unique to each spot. I have traveled in the United States, Asia, and Russia, and am excited to keep adding to the list, always seeking places that are off the beaten path. I am a member of the ITWPA (International Travel Writers and Photographers Alliance.)
