I am a professional, experienced communicator and writer/editor, currently based in Western Canada, after living and working for over two years in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia. I specialize in writing and blogging about travel, real estate, home design, consumer issues, pets, food/cooking and lifestyle. As the former editor and publisher of a high-end travel and lifestyle magazine and a large travel and cruise consumer magazine, I have proven editorial skills. I am also an experienced corporate communicator. I am experienced in blog posting using WordPress and Shopify and would love to help with the chore of daily postings for realtors, house and home retailers, food bloggers and related services. Thanks for taking the time to consider me for your projects! Cheers, Wynn
