Welcome Home, Fellow Traveler!
Everyone’s first time skiing experience seems slightly different, but with one thing in common – they all fall head over heels with this addictive, wonderful sport!
If you’re reading this post it’s probably because you’re about to head off on your first ever ski holiday, and if you are I’m incredibly jealous! There’s nothing like being on the snow for the first time ever and feeling the rush as you (wobble) down the mountain side on your first ever lesson.
Being “weightless”: the feel of “flying” under water is just amazing. The quietness: Once you put your head underwater everything become so quiet. Giving you the chance to focus on yourself, the environment and enjoy the moment. The marine life: They are so many interesting creatures underwater.
Learning to dive opens up a whole new world of adventures, full of epic marine life encounters and sun-soaked destinations that few people ever get to see. You will make friends for life, get fit, and have more fun than you ever could on land.

I’m a Nashville-based writer specializing in all forms of journalism: travel, food, home renovation, entertainment, entrepreneurship, lifestyles. But I do a whole lot more than produce magazine and online content. I’m also a photographer, a videographer and a public speaker, as well as occasionally on-air talent.
Other things to know about me
I’m an unabashed Taylor Swift fan, and my wildest dreams came true when I got to interview her for a cover story announcing the debut of her 1989 album. I’ve interviewed, literally, hundreds and hundreds of celebrities, but she ranks up there as my favorite. Some others I loved who immediately come to mind? Tom Hanks, Bill Nighy, Steven Tyler, Ben Affleck, Russell Brand. Least favorite? Richard Gere—just retire already.
Before graduating from UT, I completed the first half of my college years at Sewanee: The University of the South, studied abroad at the University of Edinburgh, and also completed a year post-grad program in international journalism at universities in Holland and Denmark. If you think going to journalism school at a public institution won’t afford you the possibility of a career in magazines, I challenge you to reconsider. My two years at UT were exactly what I needed to kickstart my career, and I am grateful for all my talented professors who sculpted and honed my writing skills.
