I excel at destination guides, mixing itinerary-like information with storytelling to create authentic images and relatable articles that connect with readers.

“It was a pleasure to work with Portia on two sponsored episodes of her Travel Goals podcast. She took the time to really understand our business and what we were trying to achieve. She did a great job of bringing to life Intrepid’s trips to Morocco through the sights and sounds of the destination and insightful interviews with our team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Portia and Travel Goals.”
