Portfolio

Times Square, New York City, USA

Hi, my name is Kelly Dunning and my boyfriend Lee and I have created a nomadic life together traveling full time around the globe with only the few possessions we can carry in our backpacks.

As a full time freelance writer, I write hundreds of articles, blogs, reviews and news stories per month for tourism websites, holiday resorts, online travel guides, travel blogs, and others. I have written about destinations all over the world, and my previous clients have included Ethihad Airlines, Radisson Blu Hotels, Global Visas and Select Resorts.

In the last few years I have lived abroad in New Zealand and England, traveled to Thailand, Malaysia, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Portugal, The USA and Scotland and backpacked across my home country of Canada.

Writing is my passion, and I delight in finding the excitement and life in a story and conveying it to the reader. I have a Bachelors Degree as well as many years of experience blogging, writing articles, and creating top notch web content. I am prompt, thorough and dedicated to quality.

If you would like to work with an intelligent, professional and hardworking writer who loves her work and will take the time to make sure you are happy, then you have found what you are looking for!
