Travel Writer's Pad

Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Ciao, Ni Hao! For the past two decades my career as a travel journalist has taken me around the globe. I’ve stayed at thousands of accommodations, where I learned personal touches create a comfortable home away from home. Certain places I visited offered extra special amenities, such as Green tea at a Japanese Ryokan & chardonnay infused bath salts at a Mexican posada. These kinds of touches are in the home. I welcome you, but no parties or events at the house. Thanks!
