Kelsey’s first career as an entertainer aboard cruise ships took her all over the world, sparking a curiosity about how people live, eat, and create. Today, she follows that curiosity as a writer and photographer, seeking out travel stories about a place’s artists, history, food and land. Her writing and photos have appeared in publications such as National Geographic, Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel Age West, AARP Magazine, Business Insider, Garden & Gun, Southern Living, and more. She publishes the newsletter Not Optimized on Substack, where she explores travel and life outside of algorithmic suggestion. When she’s not writing, you can find her antiquing, cycling, gardening, and finding a new bakery to try.
