Work With Me
I review hotels and small towns for travelers over 50 who want to know what a place is really like before they book.

The numbers
August 2026:
- 26,124 monthly pageviews, an all-time high
- 15,138 monthly readers

My hotel reviews rank for the property name, so they reach people who have already chosen the hotel and are deciding whether to book.
What I offer
- Hosted and media-rate stays. Full written review, original photography, permanent placement on a site that ranks for lodging searches, and a live booking link.
- YouTube room tours. Room and property walkaround with chapters, plus short vertical clips. One night of hosting produces content in two search engines.
- Destination coverage. Guides and itineraries with tourism boards, built around a hosted visit. I already rank well for several of the towns I write about.
I often travel with my golden retriever, Ellie May, which makes me useful to dog-friendly properties in a way most reviewers aren’t.
How I work
- I don’t sell coverage. No paid placements, no guaranteed positive reviews.
- I write what happened, including the seagulls.
- Hosted stays and affiliate links are always disclosed. That disclosure is why the recommendation works.

Tell me about the property or the destination and rough timing. I answer everything, including the ones I have to say no to.
