"Eyes that Travel, See"
                                       -Ancient Saying

I've been writing travel articles for over 35 years so I can tell you that talking about travel is one thing; writing about it is a whole different story. When you need an article for your newsletter or magazine, or an exciting column to help sell your destination over a period of time,   please contact me.  I'll capture the  passion, energy and enthusiasm of the destination and involve your readers on a journey of fascination and discovery .  -Steve Gillick
