  • Episode 2: Ireland Tales--Hosteling in Dublin

    Part of my work in writing is travel writing.  Most of the time I am a solo traveler. This is an account of my first hostel experience in Dublin.  In my accounts I try not to sugarcoat my experiences.  What I saw in Dublin was often gritty and wildly different than what I expected.  If you've been curious about visiting Dublin, the city where the party never stops, check out this episode.  More episodes to come!

  • Episode 1: A Less than perfect beginning

    In this episode, I ponder the questions of what I am doing when it comes to moving back home to my Colorado mountain town, working as a freelance writer, travel writer, and some of the challenges I have faced.  It's not a perfect beginning, but you have to start someplace.  

    If you are interested in travel stories, working in the writing field, and the challenges of life post-divorce, post-pandemic, and post-apocalypse, please subscribe!

    Thanks for listening!
