Let’s Collaborate
Hi, I’m Tam Warner Minton! I’m an empty nester, mom to two grown children, and I’m even a grandma now! As an #over50 traveler, diver, destination expert, and explorer with endless curiosity, I have quite a lot to offer you.
I travel the way I live, by experiencing new things, new ideas, new places, new cultures and new people.
I believe in getting out of my comfort zone! I encourage others to do the same.
I inspire others to get out and see the world, to expand their knowledge and enlarge their perspective. I want my audience to be breathless with excitement and overwhelmed by sights and sounds!
I believe we can travel and “do good” for ourselves, others, and our planet at the same time!
I want to continue to see and experience a broad range of travel, from Scuba Diving trips to Luxury Vacations, from Eco Camping to Cruises, from Wildlife Travel to Citizen Science…. I don’t have a particular niche, I’m open to experiencing it all!
I’m up for Solo Travel, Small Group Travel, Family Travel, Multi-generational Travel, Couple Travel, Adventure Travel, Wildlife Travel, Luxury Travel and Dive Travel! You name it, I’m up for it.
Whether you are a sponsor, brand, public relations firm, destination, or advertiser I will represent you with enthusiasm, expertise and would be happy to represent your product or destination on my blog. I love to travel, review hotels, dive, perform volunteer tourism and citizen science, eat fabulous food, and rave about products I like. My writing also includes stories of empty nest renewal, overcoming obstacles, and how traveling solo can benefit your life. Photography plays a key role in all of my blog posts, and I have won and participated in photography contests.
- As an Ambassador I am an exuberant supporter of your product/destination, and handle each event/promotion with expertise.
- I was a Destination Expert for Travel the South Bloggers at www.travelthesouthbloggers.com with an emphasis on Texas.
- As a Freelance Writer, I am available to write for you, your destination, your product, or your service!
- Please contact me about sponsored posts, brand ambassadorships, press trips, press events, advertising, public relations and/or video/radio hosting.
