I recently got to know a fabulous freelance writer named Jamie Simons who writes the Grateful Traveler article for Peter Greenberg’s blog. Peter Greenberg is the travel expert who is a frequent guest on NBC’s Today Show. I met him a couple years ago when I was producing for him at the Aspen Food and Wine Classic. If you haven’t read his blog you should check it out. It’s full of travel tips and articles and destinations. Grateful Traveler is a compilation of inspiring stories about people who travel the world and come home transformed from the experience. A new story is posted every Wednesday and Jamie really spends time with her subjects. This week Jamie featured me and BeadforLife and I am so, well, grateful. Thanks Peter and especially, Jamie.
