When the news needs a SkyMall expert, they call me. I was a guest on NBC New York’s Backyard Travel show discussing all things SkyMall. I demoed some products, explained the catalog’s mass appeal and tried to make LaGuardia Airport a happier place to be. It’s not the first time I’ve appeared on a news [...]

Some people take travel way too seriously. I’m all for exploring cultures, connecting with strangers and experiencing the world. But, sometimes, you just need to be silly. And laugh. And act out. You don’t need to spend every minute of your travels attempting to become holier than thou. Sometimes you just need to be wackier [...]
