Welcome to Aspen Real Life, a travel blog with a mission to find adventure and to reach that sweet spot in every person I meet and in every place I visit.
Here you will meet incredibly dynamic people, discover family adventures and activities in Colorado and beyond, find that child and/or pet friendly hotel you’ve been looking for, or that romantic getaway, and so much more.
I have often been praised for carving a niche for myself by culminating all of my previous experiences into this blog. Those experiences began as a wild child who was fortunate enough to have parents who, for some unknown reason, decided that it would be more fun to take their three daughters with them on their summer travels abroad over putting us in summer camp.
For College I attended Boston University, graduated with a film degree and took off for New York City to land a job with Simon & Schuster. With David Letterman sending marching bands through our office and Radio City right outside our window, I fell in love with the Big Apple. A few years later I switched tracks and worked as a Merchandising Editor at Seventeen Magazine and, not too dissimilar to Andy Sachs in the movie, The Devil Wears Prada, I learned about fashion.
Three years later, I left for Aspen and worked for the non-profit organizations; DanceAspen, the Aspen Film Festival and the International Design Conference until I landed a job working for a Real People Casting Director at Aspen Production Services.
Back in January of 2009, with three little boys attached to my hip and a ruggedly handsome, supportive husband by my side, I designed a blog to house my stories, films and photographs and now three years later, I have become Aspen and Colorado’s well known family travel writer.
I am also a Freelance Writer for Luxury Travel Magazines and have written for the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, Aspen Post, The Aspen Business Journal, Aspen Film, The Aspen Club, MTN Town Magazine and I am the Roaring Fork Examiner.
HIRE ME:
I am always in search of assignments and will travel anywhere with my three boys and husband to explore your activity/resort/lodge/hotel/camping etc… If you are looking for somebody to spread the word, I’m your gal.
Also, learning the language of blogging and website design has naturally led me to becoming a Social Media Consultant. If you are looking for a way to promote your brand name, hire me to help connect you on Facebook and Twitter and build your interactive communication through Social Media. Please contact me to discuss my rates.
DISCLAIMER:
I do accept products for review and take trips that are sponsored or paid for by airlines, resorts, or other tourist attractions but don’t worry, I’m always honest and fair with my experiences.
COME CLOSER:
I invite you to join in on my chat room by clicking LIKE on my Facebook page. This way you will connect with all of the people and businesses you will have read about in my stories.
Thank you and enjoy,
and…let’s keep it real!
