Hi! I'm Erin Clarkson, and I'm a freelance travel blogger and photographer.
I specialize in writing about travel destinations throughout the Southeast portion of the United States, with a strong focus on the Lowcountry (coastal South Carolina and Georgia) and nearby mountain escapes.
Although I write primarily from the perspective of a solo female traveler, I also share multi-generational travel tips and destination ideas. Since my travels frequently include my mom and 21-year-old daughter, I make a concentrated effort to include safety information and mobility tips in each of my destination guides.
I prefer to showcase an area's lesser-known attractions, and those hidden gems are the ones readers usually enjoy hearing about most. If there's an off-the-beaten-path spot to be discovered, you can bet I'll find it and write about it! I also promote ethical tourism.
I'm truly grateful for the experience I've gained by collaborating with the incredible brands listed above. I worked in print publications for 10+ years — so I can research and write with the best of 'em!
In addition to my print publication experience, I've also contributed to numerous online travel sites as a local expert. I authored the Savannah First-Timer's Guide, and I'm a current member of The Authors Guild.

I have 10+ years experience as a writer and contributing editor for Meredith Corporation under the Better Homes and Gardens brand. I'm accustomed to working under the pressure of tight deadlines and producing print quality work.
I'm a "slow traveler" and prefer immersing myself in a destination; I often won't write about a city until I've visited it multiple times and have a good feel for it. My readers trust me to provide quality, in-depth information to help plan their travels.
