The “Hipster Apocalypse” is Here by AnneLise Sorensen “Hipsters Illegally Killed Upstate Deer While Making Hipster Apocalypse Movie.” Those were the kind of headlines that preceded the premiere of the film “First Winter,” which opened this year.

Transform Your Travels (and Your Life)

Welcome! I travel. I drink wine. I dine. I write about it. And, I talk about it, on TV, on the radio, on podcasts, and to anyone with a bottle of Rioja red to share.
My blog is two-pronged:
---Travel Transforms. I host a lecture and web series on how travel can be a catalyst for change in your life. I cover that theme here on my blog, and I offer one-on-one classes on travel writing/editing, the craft of storytelling, life coaching, and more, all rooted in the power of travel. I also lecture at businesses and companies, extolling the virtues of travel and how it plays a vital role in work-life balance.
And, prong number two:
---Backyard Travel. I explore all the weird and wonderful ways you can travel in your own town, from sampling tongue tacos to swaying to bellydancing. Along the way, I also hunt down new and notable travel, food, and culture stories from around the world, including restaurant and hotel openings.
