I am a travel writer with a refreshing difference. I have travelled extensively for 20+ years while earning a living first as an optometrist, then as a technical manager and later after a full-time MBA as a crisis management consultant.
I finally took the plunge to combine my two passions into my job, and now can't stop writing about all things travel. My site 501 Places is updated daily with stories from destinations and views on travel in general, and within 6 months has received much acclaim from travel industry insiders.
I travel for around 3 months of the year, and am happy to work with tour operators and local suppliers to report on the products they offer from any destination. My writing is fresh, honest and told in a personal way. I believe the way to communicate effectively is through intelligent and engaging storytelling.
