Client Description: Hear what Peter Myers, editor of Reuters Business Traveller Channel, has to say: At Reuters, we have spent months looking for the best business travel blogs in the world, and your “Europe Up Close” blog is easily one of the most thorough, entertaining, conversational, whimsical, utilitarian, well-written, exquisitely photographed travel blogs we have read (and we’ve reviewed thousands!). [...] At the risk of being redundant, I have to tell you how remarkable all of your contributing writers are. The variety of voices and perspectives makes each post unpredictable in some terrific ways and very predictable in other, very good ways. After reading many of them, I got to know what each brought to the table and enjoyed their uniqueness
My Role: Having worked with EuropeUpClose.com since 2009, I regularly provide photos and write travel articles on European travel with a global perspective. I specialize in Italian, Croatian, and Slovenian travel, and my articles have been syndicated by USA Today, Reuters Business, Chicago Sun Times, and many more
