Greg Rodgers’s Summary
I am a location independent professional...aka...vagabond and can work anywhere in the world at any time. (assuming it isn't cold!)
I am experienced with writing travel essay, destination articles, and full length features. I have also been on paid blogging and photography assignments abroad.
I am looking to network with other people in the budget travel industry - writers, photographers, site owners, and anyone with a story to share!
