Travels With Zelda

Traveling is the movement of people from one place to another, from one country to another for the purpose of visiting, tourism or business. We are a traveling society. We want new experiences and are curious about other cultures and people around the globe. Destination travel is now a billion dollar industry and growing. Travel writing as a profession is often associated with 'vacation'. It is not a vacation but instead it is a serious, sometimes humorous attempt to educate, inform, and to provide helpful information to the reader visiting a certain destination, and to inspire said reader to indeed visit that destination. In 2004 I was living in Los Angeles trying to sell scripts to movie producers. To augment my income I began writing destination travel features for a West Texas daily newspaper's Sunday travel supplement.
