Employment as a freelance travel writer/photographer provides many opportunities for traveling.

The remote Palouse region is well known by Northwest landscape photographers. I spent several enjoyable hours photographing its undulating hills.

One of our fun outings was visiting River City Brewing. They put us to work in the brewery, making our own small batch of beer.

Besides the knowledge imparted by the presenters, the best part was being around so many other writers. It was very energizing and encouraging.

The Northwest is known for its love-affair with craft beer and bicycles. The “Hoppy Hour” tour features brew tasting by bicycle in Victoria BC.

A visit to Spokane changed my perception completely. It has all the ingredients for an enjoyable vacation, no matter your age or interests.

I’m heading to Spokane to discover the delights of its “foodie” scene. For two days I literally will be “wined and dined” by Visit Spokane.

I have been invited on an 8-day/7-night river cruise on the Columbia and Snake Rivers as a hosted travel writer.

While not every topic lends itself to storytelling, there are some that allow me to imagine myself as one of the travelers.

Although I resisted pursuing a niche, I find I have unintentionally become a cruise travel writer. All in all, it’s a pretty nice gig.
