Judy is a travel writer living in Scottsdale, AZ. She enjoys traveling throughout the United States and Europe to be immersed in nature and art. Rome is still her favorite city but she has enjoyed exploring any city where she finds herself.

Her writing focuses mainly on art, nature, and history, but her travels often lead to other types of stories as well. She has written for Wander With Wonder, Travel Awaits, Rovology, GoNomad, Travel by Vacation Rental, Big Blend Radio, FWT Magazine, Newsweek, and Weekend Notes.
