Introducing Spendthrift Shoestring

I'm a travel writer and editor based in New York. I've written for magazines, newspapers, and Web sites.

After writing for other blogs for some time, I recently decided that it was time to set up a blog of my own. In addition to showcasing my published writing here, I'll write about places, travel news, consumer items, and sensations--whatever strikes me as interesting. The goal, of course, is that this blog will serve as a home for the emergence of my own travel aesthetic.

So welcome. And yeehaw.
