About Me

I think I ended up as Forbes’ business travel blogger because I’m the only Wharton MBA to become a travel writer. I grew up in New England and worked in finance in Tokyo before B-school. later I moved to Los Angeles to work in the film industry.

In 1998, stunned by my only ever layoff, I began exercising skills (and, let’s be frank, pleasures) I’d long left dormant: writing and traveling. 13 years later: so far, so good. in addition to Forbes, I’ve been published from Travel+Leisure and the Los Angeles Times to dozens of Lonely Planet titles. I can speak Japanese and French, read Korean menus and embarrass myself in Spanish, Italian and Chinese.

And I continue to polish my business chops with cross-cultural consulting work for companies across the US. last year between writing and consulting work, I logged over 140,000 air miles.
