GoNomad posted a new story by yours truly yesterday.

It is called Pack Your Lipstick and is about four travel guidebooks published in the last year that all offer travel advice strictly for women.

I interviewed the author of each guide in order to write the story. It was inspiring and energizing to have four enlightening conversations about women and travel with women who think about travel as much as I do.

Also out this week is a story I wrote about four teens at a local high school who won the championship title at the state cooking competition. They go to San Diego this week to complete against 30 other teams in the national cooking competition.

Imagine that -- a high school cooking team! There was no such thing when I was in school. And even better - I was so impressed that out of this culinary team of four, only one was a girl.

Let's hear it for men in the kitchen!
