First and foremost, my writing is educative.
I write when there’s information worth sharing or a lesson worth teaching. Apart from catharsis, I believe there are few benefits to roundabout writing, so I aim to be succinct with my words. I inform through the juxtaposition of objective, factual, non-fiction article construction and subjective, non-fiction, personal memoir.
My writing style is variant; soft and melodic when content calls for it and to the point when one needs to be made. I rely heavily on metaphor as a teaching technique. Since words, phrases, and concepts familiar in one context can provide a variance of meanings when portrayed as versions of their non-literal selves, metaphor, then, is the universal language I communicate when writing for a worldly audience. In short, it keeps my work relatable.
Seriousness and candidness aside, I am a goofball. I laugh at myself often, so it is no surprise that satire sometimes appears in my work. I like to think that I am witty, relying on sarcasm, irony, coincidence, and puns to make readers smile on occasion. Whoever said that high-quality, informative writing had to be static and stale?
My travel blog is neither a travel journal nor a travelogue; it is a compilation of travel journalism.
My firsthand experience traveling, working, and living abroad in Costa Rica is the backbone of my Costa Rica Travel Blog, which was built to be a trip-planning resource for travelers to learn from, not merely a collection of personal travel tales. If you plan to visit Costa Rica and are interested in learning more about the country, you could spend hours blog-surfing and reading other travelers’ accounts of what they did during their vacation, where they stayed, and what they loved best, but the truth is, you’re not them, are you? Wouldn’t you rather read about ways to enhance your trip, backed by valuable and experiential knowledge? My blog offers hundreds of informative articles curated from my own travels that were written for you, void of repetitive or cliché accounts that fail to inspire worthwhile travel.
Jam-packed with journalistic content, my blog seeks perspectives from new angles, encourages soft-spoken voices to be heard, and prepares travelers for broad, bold, and safe Costa Rica travel experiences. Woven throughout are threads of human interest, inspiration, and philanthropy. Clearly a result of my education and work experience in the fields of law and justice, ethics and fairness are prominent themes. Original, personal, and professional, my blog is not at all reminiscent of the volumes of Costa Rica travel resources currently available online and in print. To travelers, I humbly say, you’re welcome.
Though I always write to inform, sometimes I write to sell. Do you copy?
If writing is the path I have chosen for my life, copywriting is the bike I hopped on for a ride. With me in the driver’s seat, balanced, and looking straight ahead, I am moved by wheels of persuasive sales and crafty writing. Sales, in front, determine the direction. In tow, my writing maintains control and applies the breaks when necessary to remain on course. Working in tandem, the two produce an energy—compelling copy—that escalates with every push. It builds a momentum that endures long after I’ve stopped pedaling. Powerful and infinite, great copy is autonomous. Like an elated child coasting on a bike with her legs stretched out to either side, when I have produced copy that I am proud of, I can sit back, be free, and just enjoy the ride.
