Discovery Map and Me

Using My Discovery Map in Southampton

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting links to Discovery Map stories here at my blog for just over a year. Wait, don’t tell me you’re not familiar with Discovery Map? I bet many of you are–either through my blog posts–or having actually used one of these cheery, hand-drawn maps on your travels. If you’re not familiar with Discovery Map, I suggest you become acquainted with them. They have a presence–yes, in the form of super cute and handy foldout maps–in some 125 destinations across the U.S. and abroad. 

Good news is that Discovery Map is actively developing their web presence. That’s where I come in. They are expanding their website in a variety of ways, including showcasing written descriptions about their destinations. There’s not much room for that on the actual maps but the sky’s the limit on their website. 

So I’ve been writing content on destinations from San Diego, California to Ogunquit, Maine. And having a ton of fun doing it. Fortunately I’m a well-traveled person (which I suppose means I’m no spring chicken) and I have the knowledge and savoir faire to write up these various resort locales with just the right amount of flair.

Check out the story Meet Our New Writer at the Map Geek Blog to find out more about me as well as my role at Discovery Map International.

I suggest you turn to Discovery Map whenever you’re thinking about going to or checking out a place you’ll be visiting. It’s a great resource for planning your trip and it also serves as a quick reference for the highlights–from dining to Instagram–able places–once you’ve arrived. 

And hopefully you’ll find it all to be a good, informing and entertaining read!

Go to the Discovery Map category here on my blog to read about some (although not all!) of the destinations I have already written up. There, too, you can learn a little about the backstory, which is a tale of its own.
