FREELANCE WRITING

I’m a freelance travel and lifestyle writer with nearly three decades of cruising experience, spanning 70+ countries, 55+ sailings, 100+ ports, and six continents. Since launching my writing career in 2021, I’ve built a diverse portfolio of travel, cruising, and lifestyle stories for a range of publications. I also run my own website, Candid Cruise & Travel, where I share authentic experiences, honest reviews, and expert advice. Across my work, I combine firsthand knowledge with compelling storytelling to help readers explore the world with confidence.
