I had the pleasure of writing a story on The Fan for Southern Living’s August issue. Three years ago, we came to Richmond and moved into a rambling and “charming” apartment in The Fan. What a perfect neighborhood to introduce us to Richmond, and convince us that this is the place to put down roots.
The story covers where to shop and grab a bite to eat in The Fan. Grab a copy of the mag. It’s on newsstands now! cheers, marissa
Grab a copy of the July issue of Southern Living to read my little travel piece on where to shop and eat in Fredericksburg, Virginia. xo, marissa
In the May issue of Southern Living, I wrote “A Perfect Day In Charlottesville.” The little travel piece features four C’villians who tell you where to go and what to do when visiting the area. Be sure to grab a copy of the magazine off newsstands. cheers, marissa
Grab a copy of the December issue of Southern Living to read my travel story on where to shop and grab a bite to eat in Williamsburg, Virginia. cheers and happy holidays, marissa
I wrote a travel story on “where to shop now” in Morgantown, West Virginia, for Southern Living’s November issue. It also is posted online here. Read up! And, if you are feeling adventuresome, it’s worth a trip to Morgantown. Not mentioned in my story: the college town has great local beer and pepperoni rolls! cheers, marissa
I wrote a travel story on Richmond, Virginia, which was featured in the September issue of Southern Living. The story tells visitors how to experience the River City on a high and low budget, whether you are tubing on the James or shopping at a high-end boutique. Grab a copy on newsstands now! cheers, marissa
Pick up a copy of Southern Living’s May issue to read my travel story on Shepherdstown, West Virginia, a charming little town an hour-and-a-half drive from Washington, D.C. My story highlights the cool places to shop and tasty places to eat in the little town of 1,700 people. Also in this issue, my friend and fellow journalist Kristin Luna wrote a wonderful travel piece on Louisville, Kentucky’s East Market District. It’s always a treat to share some ink with writers you admire. Happy reading!
Hey friends,
I wrote a travel story on Lynchburg, Virginia, that is published in the April issue of Southern Living. Lynchburg always will have a special place in my heart. After leaving Colorado, I lived in Lynchburg for about two years and worked at the town’s newspaper as a page designer and copy editor. When I moved there I was lost and confused and ended up finding myself and a tribe of people I have come to love. So, having this travel story published means very, very much to me. Be sure to grab a copy or read the story here. My story is only printed in the MVA travel zones, which are distributed in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
Also, back in November Southern Living published a travel story I wrote on where to shop in Charlottesville, Virginia, on their website. Read that story here.
I have a few other travel pieces I wrote for Southern Living that I’m hoping to see in print soon. Stay tuned!
Cheers, marissa
One of the last projects I worked on as associate editor at Richmond magazine was helping put together the travel package “Weekend Escapes” for the March issue. I wrote about an outdoor adventure I took to Bath County, Virginia, where I spent a few days mountain biking, fly fishing, kayaking, canoeing and relaxing at Natural Retreat’s Meadow Lane properties. I was excited to see that my travel story made the cut for the cover. What a great image of beautiful Bath County! Grab a copy from newsstands! cheers, marissa
As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I’m venturing more into the world of travel journalism, which is exciting. Last month I took a jaunt to Colonial Williamsburg on behalf of Forbes Travel Guide. While there I reviewed the Williamsburg Inn, Williamsburg Lodge, The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg and Golden Horseshoe Golf Club. To read my review on the inn, click here.
