Master Of Your Crafts

Amy Piper is a Michigan-based freelance travel writer, blogger, photographer, and author specializing in luxury and multi-generational travel. She is a native Michigander who travels through the lens of a food lover. 

As a former program project manager with more than 35 years of experience in the Information Technology field, she’s traveled the world. Along with her personal travel, she’s been to 41 countries and 45 states.

From getting chased by bomb-sniffing dogs in the middle of the night in Bogotá to being refused boarding her plane from Buenos Aires to Paraguay due to the wrong visa to being surrounded by 21 lions in Tanzania on a photo safari, Amy always has an exciting adventure to tell her readers and community of travel enthusiasts.

In 2022, Amy was recognized as the Greater Lansing Certified Tourism Ambassador Star of the Year. She is a published author of two books, “Secret Michigan: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure” and “100 Things to Do in Lansing Before You Die.” She is also the co-author of a collaborative work with 11 other authors called “Midwest Road Trip Adventures.”

She wants to motivate you to pack more travel into your life. You don’t need to get on a plane to travel. Instead, she’ll inspire you to get off the couch and see the world, near or far. Be a tourist in your own town. Go to that new restaurant. Explore the museum you’ve passed every day for years and never visited. Make a day trip on Saturday or go away for the weekend. You don’t need a whole week or two to travel. You don’t need to travel full-time to experience the world.

While she wants you to to plan your next adventure in Michigan or the Midwest, she’ll also take you farther afield. First, she helps you decide where to go, with whom, what to eat, and which activities to pursue. Then, she’ll inspire you to get going.

“Crouching down to leap forward”—a phrase I coined in 2001—was inspired by watching cats wiggle their butts to gain momentum for a leap. This simple observation turned into a meditative tool for me, a way to pause and breathe while navigating life’s challenges.

Jelayna found yoga in 2006. By 2010 it had become her constant companion helping to heal her body and mind after 10 years of competitive rowing, including 4 years on scholarship at the University of Kansas. Graduating with a degree in psychology, she went on to coach many athletes at home and abroad. In 2013, she completed her 250 hour teacher training at Yoga Tree studios and followed this with a 100 hour hands-on adjustments and Mysore training at Downward Dog studio.

Cody Peterson A first-time author, Cody has been a thoughtful student of spirituality and religion since adolescence, and he takes his own spiritual practice very seriously, believing that his recovery (and his life) depends on it. He defines his own version of meditation and yoga as "highlighting books" and sharing what he’s learned through his writings and talks—the central feature of his day-to-day routine. To the delight of his family, including his two amazing adult children, Cody finally sobered-up over eleven years ago after spending time living on the streets of Las Vegas, Nevada, and he feels an urgent need to give back by “carrying the message” to newcomers to the Twelve Steps through volunteering at any number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and detox-facilities every chance he can.

Cody is a desert rat at heart with a deep love for the American southwest. An avid outdoor adventurer and owner of a small construction company with his wife, when he’s not in a meeting, studying, or writing you can bet Cody is either climbing up one of the massive sandstone monoliths of Zion National Park or else descending down any of its myriad slot-canyons with his friends—always with ropes, of course. He loves mountain biking and trail-running too, especially with his three little dogs, Jeff, Wina, and Gooey.
