Two years ago I retired from a life long career, and became a travel advisor. Then, of course, Covid-19 appeared and interrupted everyone's lives. I was determined not to let the pandemic destroy my new life, so I researched and wrote about the new Health and Safety Protocols instituted in airlines and resort brands. Subsequently, I was invited by several Travel Industry partners to fly to Mexico and write about my experiences with these protocols firsthand. Since that first enlightening experience, I have moved to Playa del Carmen in Mexico to continue to refine and define my travel writing. I am currently researching for a series of articles called "In Search of Mayan Gold".
