Hi, I’m Michelle or —M

A freelance travel essayist/writer.

You will find me wandering Europe as often as possible, primarily where there is outstanding wine & whisky or bread & cheese. For over twenty years, I have enjoyed traveling internationally. Writing & photography help me connect with and appreciate those travels even more. When I am not traveling with my best friend and person, Liam, I enjoy playing with my four grandbabes and teaching them how to wander and discover, too! Read the Welcome OR About/Bio.

This Life Is To Wander!

If you are here to read about travel:

Without shame, I am continuously endeavoring to inspire others to travel. Creating a website to share personal anecdotes, reflections, and photographs about travel and the life that happens in between (and during, too.) seemed inevitable.

If you are here to discover a freelance writer:

I have a significant amount of writing experience, but most of my published writing work has been published as a ghostwriter or on a blog that has disappeared. Additionally, I have donated a good bit of my word crafting to a non-profit for which I volunteered. I am available for any genre tossed my way, though I prefer writing about all things travel. 

No matter who you are, I hope you find the stories and photographs on this website interesting. Mostly, I hope they inspire and compel you to travel slowly & live beautifully. —M
