From a quest for the perfect oyster on the shores of Puget Sound, to the food-obsessed farms of Oregon, to a journey through India's stepwells — travel is the ultimate experience.  I shaped the Trib magazine Travel issues around the notion that every destination is chosen for the story behind it, adding a layer of richness that doesn't come with pointing readers to standard-issue resorts.  A healthy dose of style, inside knowledge from the smartest travelers, and a ton of visual inspiration got readers ready to pack their bags and go.
