The best stories are those born out of conversation. The chatter starts mundanely enough. In grocery store aisles, on sidewalks, in dentist chairs. Not all talks transpire into something profound, but sometimes throwaway remarks about the weather and time give way to something deeper.
The stories strangers tell have moved my world in gentle ways. I am a passionate media professional with a decade of experience writing and editing dynamic content for both traditional regional publications and well-known tourism brands. I have a strong attention to detail, and I love to approach every story with fresh eyes.
