About Me: For me, traveling isn't an option; it's a necessity like food, water, and shelter. I can't imagine a life with out traveling. Currently mine consists of being a full time graphic designer for a travel magazine, reading stories about others adventures--rather I'm at work, online, or in a bookstore--and experiencing a lot of my own. I consider igougo.com to be a sounding board and a place to exercise my writing skills. Even though I'm not guide of the year, or consistently an Editor's pick, I wish to one day be a travel writer for National Geographic Traveler and Lonely Planet, to name a few. Luckily my dreams don't end there. Recently I found out that one of my articles I wrote (about how I headed off for Rio and ended up in Japan) for Sojourns magazine was excepted--I'll make my debut in 1.2 million readers homes this coming Spring, 2004!! So look for that article if you’re a subscriber.
