If you were following my Disney blog several years ago when it was active, you’ll probably remember it was called Pooh’s Travels — after my nickname and one of my favorite characters. Sadly, my blog has been dormant for several years as my freelancing career started gaining serious momentum. I barely had time to write the Disney pieces I was commissioned to do, let alone post on the blog.
Since things have taken off, I’ve hit some milestones in my career that I’m extremely proud of. I’ve traveled to over 60 countries and still visited the Disney Parks at least several times a year. I’ve spoken at conferences in Belize and Mexico about blogging and social media, worked as an English language editor on a renowned chef’s second cookbook, and authored half of Belize’s official visitor magazine in 2013. I passed my Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) exam in 2014 and most recently became AFAR Travel Magazine’s Belize expert, curating their Official AFAR Guide to Belize.
Although I haven’t published on the blog, I never lost my love for Disney — I still try to maintain annual passes to all the Disney Parks worldwide and visit as often as I can. Despite living so far away now in Belize and the Netherlands, I managed to visit Tokyo four times in the last year, and Hong Kong three. I’m blessed that I’ve been able to combine my passion for Disney with my regular travel and food writing as well. I am now covering Disney Travel for Roam Right Travel Insurance, and had a few Disney-related posts on travel and hotel sites like Trivago and Hipmunk. I’m also a blogger for Viator, a tour company that I absolutely love working with. I maintain a number of their destination blogs, including Hong Kong, which allows me to cover Disney periodically as well.
I’ve enjoyed keeping up with all my Disney travels, but I have missed utilizing an outlet on which to share them. General Disney articles are great for travel sites, but only Disney addicts will go crazy over decorative details, a new food item, or the latest merchandise releases. And, while many of my regular travel writing colleagues don’t share the same passion for Disney, they have been pushing me to restart the site. I am one of the very few people who travel to all the Disney Park Resorts worldwide on a regular basis, and I should be using that knowledge and experience to help others plan their Disney vacations. So, for the last six months or so, I’ve been working on a rebranding plan that more closely aligns with my other work and websites.
Welcome to the new Disney Globetrotter!
The site is still undergoing a number of design changes and updates, but it’s updated and mobile-friendly now. If you want to keep connected on my Disney-specific social media, I am finally launching new dedicated accounts on Instagram and Pinterest as well.
