Introduction

I am a freelance travel writer with special interest and experience in Africa, Italy, Spain and Southwest USA including Arizona, California, New Mexico and Colorado. Currently researching a book on the ancient pilgrimage route of El Camino de Santiago in northern Spain with annual travel to the region. Comfortable traveling in Africa. Co-authoring non-fiction book on a thrilling orphan rescue from Asmara, Eritrea, Africa. I invite work from any of these areas. I write about 'insider' secrets for visiting the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff AZ, Indian Country, Colorado ski resorts and Minnesota cultural and outdoors activities after living in Flagstaff, AZ; Aspen, Steamboat Springs, Colorado Springs, and Grand Junction, CO; Minneapolis and Duluth, MN.

Experience & Expertise

I am a high-altitude freelance writer based in Flagstaff, AZ. My trekking adventures have led me up the Inca Trail in Peru eating fried caterpillars and roasted guinea pig, across the plains of northern Spain on El Camino de Santiago enjoying tapas and steamed barnacles, and through the vineyards of Cinque Terre along the Italian coast sipping Chianti Classico . Years of interviewing experience help me get to the heart of the story. Referrals from my editors include this one from Michael Barrick: “Stacey's commitment to excellence is unquestionable. She quickly grasps the subject material and writes it in a manner that is not only outstanding, but easily understood. She is a great team player, not only taking direction well, but also adding valuable feedback and creativity. Stacey is self-disciplined and makes deadlines without fail. I highly recommend her for the person interested in excellence, dependability and wisdom.”
