Welcome to Gorgeous Globe

My life hasn’t been the same since I left Texas eleven years ago.

As a travel writer and photographer, I have an insatiable appetite for world cuisine, architecture, and visually stunning locales. 

Over the past ten years, I’ve called eight countries home, visiting a total of 35 countries and counting. The truth is, Gorgeous Globe was born out of my insatiable curiosity for travel and experiencing new cultures; what started as a visual diary of sorts became a community and curation of the interesting people and places in the world. My travel journey is documented here on GG through personal stories and street photography, showcasing the people and places that strike me deeply.

I currently live in Zurich, Switzerland with my Belgian husband, our eight month old daughter, and our adopted Indonesian cat, Tiga.

Intrigued by flavor, photography, and architecture

I work with hotels and restaurants to showcase their design, cuisine, and style through blog articles and hi-quality interior and food photography. My passion is to draw in curious travelers with an eye for style and gourmet taste. So far, I’ve worked with companies throughout Asia and Europe in countries such as Malaysia, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Indonesia, and Thailand.

I grew up in the restaurant business with food permeating every facet of my adolescence and early adulthood. My start in food writing began in Paris and now I explore every country the only way I know how: taste buds first with a strong preference for sweets. Oh, and don’t even get me started on coffee.

My travel writing, photos, and video have been featured by Elle Belgium, Matador Network, Discoverer, Secret Food Tours, ExpatGo Belgium, ExpatGo Malaysia, The Bulletin, Flanders Today, Ten Days in Paris, Visit Croatia, Visit Porto, Visit Bordeaux, and Budapest Tourism Centre.
