The BackStory
Travels and Curiosities was launched by Elaine Skylar Neal in 2019. I’m Elaine! Hi there! Thanks for checking out my website.
I launched Travels and Curiosities as a way to explore my combined passions of photography, storytelling, and travel.
I love to discover off-beat, unusual travel destinations and share them with others.
Prior to this, I spent 18 years working as a photojournalist for newspapers across the US.
In addition to publishing Travels and Curiosities, I design Squarespace Websites for clients from around the world, and I help establish and improve organic rankings for these websites with keyword-researched SEO strategies.
