I love to travel and introduce others to the world of travel. While I like to be spontaneous and travel to exciting and exotic new places, most of my travel is centered around visiting the nation's many amusement and theme parks. If there's a roller coaster to be ridden or a new ride to be experienced, I'll be there.

At first, traveling to amusement parks started as a hobby of mine. Now, it has expanded to a way of life and a part of my job as editor of Theme Parks Magazine -- the first and only magazine that allows readers to discover America's theme parks. In the past few years alone, I've found myself at nearly 100 different parks in over 30 states. In the process I've ridden nearly 400 different roller coasters.

Since a lot of my travel time is spent in hotel rooms, I'm happy to share my opinions and travel experiences with others through Trip Advisor because I have enjoyed and appreciated reading other travelers' reviews myself.
