Bill as a Travel Writer

Bill has recently decided to devote some of his free time to writing about places we've traveled to over the past couple of years. I really enjoy seeing how he captures the beauty and emotion of a place in writing. The first article he worked on, about our visit to Nemrut Dagi in Turkey, he decided to submit to a writing contest hosted by GoAbroad.com. Much to our surprise he actually received honorable mention and had his article published on their website! Since then he has had two more articles published on a different travel website, We Said Go Travel, about Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica and the city of Sarajevo in Bosnia & Herzegovina. And on a funny note, the article Bill wrote about Sarajevo was actually picked up by the Sarajevo Times and published in their online newspaper where they cited Bill as a US Historian (of course with Bill being completely unaware of all this).
I am so incredibly proud of Bill's ability to seamlessly blend history, intrigue and beauty and hope he continues to write as we continue to travel.
