Publications
I have written many travel documentary videos for Reader's Digest Home Entertainment (New York) as well as for International Video Network (California). I have also written short travel articles for the travel and "lifestyle" website Spire.com (Boston).
Education/Credentials
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degree from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I also spent one year at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
