Articles and Essays
In my magazine and essay-length pieces, I specialize in creative nonfiction, travel narrative and memoir. My focus is strong storytelling that starts with solid research and reporting and is shaped into engaging and compelling stories about people, cultures, spirituality, prehistory, history, food and wine, and the outdoors and adventures in the wider world.

Adventure Writing

I write global travel pieces on hiking, surfing, yoga, and trekking across wild and urban landscapes, among other adventures, including pilgrimage and the Camino de Santiago..

Food & Wine Writing

I write about food and wine from its fundamental origins of how it is grown, handled, and gotten to market, to its ritual and symbolic aspects in how it is artistically prepared, shared and infused with meaning as much as with spices and seasonings.

People, Cultures
& Spirituality

In writing about people, from profiles to cultural explorations, I apply the anthropologist's perspective and write about people in the context of their unique surroundings and influences. I write about spiritual topics because they go to the root of life and explore who we are at the deepest level.
