Media and Brands

Bylines, clips, and photography:

I’ve had the privilege of covering several different sub-genres of travel while contributing dozens of articles to TexasHillCountry.com & Magazine, The Birds Channel, ConfettiTravelCafe.com, and MilesGeek.com. I’m also a regular contributor to my local Convention and Visitors Bureau, VisitLakeCharles.org. Please click on the respective links to browse a comprehensive list of my articles.

Recently, I’ve been named the Top Blogger to Follow Right Now and featured in Roy Stevenson’s wildly successful Pitch-Travel-Write Newsletter. I was also invited to speak at his Travel Writing & Marketing Master Conference. This may be my proudest accomplishment yet.

Additionally, I attended the Ultimate Travel Writers Program in San Diego in 2014 and was featured in Travel Post Monthly’s Destinations.

Hi Jessica,

I am Elizabeth, the owner of Austin Detours.

We have been covered by many journalists since starting but your article that I just read was by far the best. It really brought tears to my eyes because when I started this business 3 years ago as a first-time stay at home mom of twins, I needed a way to work but didn’t want to go back to a boring job. I loved Austin and wanted to find a creative, unique and offbeat way to show it to others. We are now the largest tour company in Austin but aim to capture the real, genuine, intimate experience rather than a big bus tour. You couldn’t have said it in a more perfect way. You have just captured every hour of what I and my devoted team work so hard to do every day.

I will post your article on my desk and look at it daily to remind myself to keep going, keep moving, keep building as people really do “get it!”

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Really.

Elizabeth
