I grew up believing there was only one thing that would make me happy: being a TV news anchor. As a kid, I'd sit in my bedroom pretending to be Diane Sawyer.
The passion only intensified as I got older. I got my first real (= paid) TV gig at a small station in SoCal. Six years later, I landed my dream job at a national cable network. I was 28. It was super-competitive and required a ton of sacrifice (working practically every holiday for a decade), but I loved it.
Until I didn't.

My Story
It wasn't until my late 30's that I finally said, "Screw it!" and took some time off. My first stop: Europe.
And that was the beginning of a love affair that would change my life forever.
Today, I'm using my journalism experience and passion for travel to help you find your life-changing moment.
random facts
I've been married 4 times. Why? Because I kept saying YES. But John's a keeper.

I have 367 e-books. 321 are historical fiction or historical biographies. Most about Royalty, esp. Marie Antoinette. (I'm convinced I have royal ancestors...) #obsessed

HOBBIES
PETS
My yorkie, Winston is named after Churchill. My chihuahua Ludwig - I just thought the name was funny. Tobias the rescue kitty from Puerto Rico is named after the lead singer of GHOST, the Swedish metal band. And Chips the 50lb. rescue mix pup is named after the early 20th c. British MP and socialite Chips Channon (don't ask!) We miss our 5 lb chihuahua Gomez our 85 pound angel, Pickles so much and think about them every day. #AdoptDon'tShop!
I've moved 42 times in 53 years, living in 19 cities and 6 states. #TVBrat
