It’s an exciting time to be a Girl Camper and I’m thrilled to join this group as your Massachusetts Chapter Guide! I live in Boston (and yes, having a travel trailer in the city is a bit tricky—more on that later!) and I have been a freelance writer for almost my entire career. I write about food and travel for a number of publications and have written several guidebooks about Boston and New England over the years.

I love nothing more than hitting the road and finding quirky places to explore, eat, drink, hike, shop, and meet new people. Having purchased my new-to-me 1981 Scamp in the summer of 2020, I had a short window of time to get to know the ins and outs of RV camping, but by no means am I new to camping. I’ve been a tent camper my whole adult life and have criss-crossed the country more than once.

Having a LOT of experience in advising people where to go and what to do, I feel moving into the Girl Camper space will be a perfect fit. I’m on a mission to find the best places to camp, explore, and have a great time in Massachusetts and New England. And I’m really looking forward to hosting events, as soon as I can dig out my Scamp from the snow!
