Well, not yet. I have one last ski trip planned, and then I can embrace my favorite season.

After a few ski trips in Japan, Canada, and California, plus a quick jaunt to Morocco, I’ve been in the home office putting finishing touches on some large projects. I’ll let you know when they’re out in the public for reading pleasure. The best way to get immediate updates is to subscribe to my newsletter.

An interview I did with Travel Writing 2.0 was published over the weekend. In it, I share insights on how I make it through all the office work and road work, plus manage to have something that resembles a life outside my job. Check it out here.

Also, I’ve had a few more articles to add to my 2018 list:

It’s a question regularly asked of working women.

“How do you balance your work and life?”

The simple answer is that you don’t. Instead of doing everything, you’re constantly re-evaluating what has priority in the moment.

For the past few years, my blog was low on that list. But now that I’ve relaunched my website, I’m posting again. Check back regularly for updates, or even sign up for my newsletter to find out what I’m up to.

In the past few months, my San Francisco Chronicle article on Hue, Vietnam, won a Lowell Thomas award (Honorable Mention) for Foreign Travel. I’ve also added many publications to my regular client list.
