‍ ‍Hi, I'm Michelle — or M.

A freelance travel essayist and writer, usually found somewhere between Italy and California, wherever the wine is good and the bread is better. For more than twenty years, I have traveled internationally, and writing and photography are how I hold onto what I find along the way.

I am writing my first memoir, The House at the Town's End, which I am currently querying publishers for — the Prologue is on Substack now, alongside ongoing Field Notes. You can follow the ongoing work, including the memoir, here: [Substack]

When I'm not traveling with my best friend and favorite person, Liam, I'm usually trying to teach my four grandbabes how to wander well. Lately, I think they're teaching me.[Welcome]& [About/Bio]

This Life Is To Wander!
