Type A Trips
A HIGHLY DETAILED, LUXURY TRAVEL WRITER WITH OVER EIGHT YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Type A Trips is a luxury travel blog for the stressed out, overwhelmed, working professional with 2 weeks vacation a year who want to be told where to go to spend their hard earned travel dollars - wine, dinners, spas, luxury accommodations and sought after experiences - who don't have the time, energy or know how to plan. Since the site's inception in March of 2014, there has been tremendous growth and a targeted community of readers has emerged who are desperately seeking travel truths that fit their needs.
I am the Owner and Lead Travel Writer for Type A Trips, cutting through the overwhelming noise for the 25 to 40 year old working professionals who have a limited amount of time and they trust me to provide them with the best places to go. These are not budget backpackers, these are people who want to take amazing vacations.
As a professional in the corporate world with a passion for photography and exploring, I focus on creating beautiful, relevant and straightforward content for readers like me, as well as organize and plan in-depth itineraries for my clients. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Communication and English as well as a Master's Degree in Organizational Management with over eight years of experience in technical writing.
