Welcome to Checking in.
Hi! I’m Chris. My finger is on the pulse of consumer travel.
I’m your jack-of-all-trades, travel-obsessed writer, reporter, editor, marketer, content creator, and consultant.
Checking in is about sharing my passion for travel and working within an ever-evolving industry. Over the past five years, I’ve made this a career by taking risks and diversifying my skill set. That might mean, on a given day, reporting on LA’s travel comeback post-fires for The Washington Post … then creating short-form social videos for Travel + Leisure … and finally consulting on a project for a PR firm.
What to expect: This newsletter will have hot takes and perspectives from behind the scenes.
What’s it like when I go on assignment?
How do I get paid? Is this a viable career?
What’s the tea on working with editors and PR pros?
…and much more.
In the literal sense, “Checking in” refers to a life of checking into hotels and flights. However, it’s also a blank slate to reflect on my career, and I can do that with you. After all, travel has become an integral part of my identity.
I hope you’ll stick around to read these snippets as I check in from home and around the world.
Chris
