Drifting Elizabeth

I am a freelance book reviewer and writer in the Richmond, VA area. I sometimes throw food, travel, and lifestyle into the mix.

I have extensive experience planning travel itineraries, and it is something I still love to do for fun. While my job dealt with international locales, I now focus more on domestic travel, including dog-friendly (as I am obsessed with my Cavalier King Charles Ollie) and kid friendly.
