Experience

Summary

Began freelancing in April 2016, while travelling across India. Continued with travel writing in Nepal and entered into SEO-driven web copy and content while in Sri Lanka. Since being in SE Asia I have added health and food writing to my quiver.

Work history

Life of Riley

Web copy and content, internet research, SEO, travel writing, blog writing.

I diligently research niche travel experiences and write the copy, which is formatted to a specific style and formula. I also compose original blog content for the site.

SME's outsourcing content.

I was asked to research and write 4 original articles based on SME's outsourcing their written content. The articles aimed to give both sides of the outsourcing versus in-house scenario that all SME's face.

Travel Me Healthy
