Travel Guides
I write travel guides for friends and family. Nothing formal and not exhaustive, but based on my own travel experiences.
- Acadia National Park, the most polished guide I put together.
- California and Yosemite, designed to read like a pamphlet a travel agent would give you.
- London and Southern England, based on my 4 trips there, although dated by 10 years.
