I wrote a blog post on travel and relationships, and it got a lot of attention for a day or two. Here it is:

Flying Korean Air in July?
I wrote the text for the spread on Alaska for Korean Air's July issue of Morning Calm, their in-flight magazine. The amazing photographs were easy inspiration. Here's a link to the digital edition:

Lonely Planet's 10th edition of Alaska is about to hit the shelves!
This was my second Lonely Planet Alaska book that I worked on, and a few of the research trips I took were epic....
I just published an iPhone/iPad app for Sutro Media: Thailand Travel Explorer. Don't you think it's time for a tropical holiday?
Lonely Planet's USA's Best Trips, in which I wrote the trip Up the Inside Passage, won gold at the SATW Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition Awards. Huzzah!
I'm up on the BBC: Tracing China's Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
Read it and then go drink some Pu-er!
Just received my author copies of Lonely Planet Canada!
I researched most of the Ontario chapter, including Toronto.
Toronto is like New York, but Canadian: polite, clean, friendly, helpful and easily navigable. It's now one of my favorite cities. Ontario itself is awesome, and a burgeoning wine and food destination. I totally recommend traveling there!
Lonely Planet's Discover Alaska is now out!
Check out LP's Discover Alaksa, a super pretty guide for which I was the coordinating author. It highlights the best of Alaska, and is geared towards travelers who only have a couple of weeks to visit the state.
