HERE’S HOW WE CAN ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
SERVICES
Freelance Travel Writing
Piper has a passion for telling the story of your destination and the people behind it. She tells the story through a pairing of photographs and words to help you accomplish your business goals, whether “bringing travelers from one tank of gas away to your destination” or “encouraging locals to get off their couch and explore their hometown.”
She is a freelance travel writer and blogger who showcases the world, specializing in stories through a food lens–restaurants, ingredients, and festivals. Luxury travel and multi-generational travel round out her offerings.
Piper is a freelance travel writer for several publications and works to tell your story through words and images.
Blog Posts & Social Coverage
Piper will pen a custom post designed to help you meet your business goals. Then, Piper integrates each sponsored post into Follow the Piper’s content and shares it on social media to tell your story. Since Piper’s days as an instructional designer, she’s believed a picture is worth a thousand words. Both sponsored blog posts and social media coverage will include original images to tell your story.
Piper’s combined social media following is over 33,500 through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. She can assist you in meeting your marketing objectives by promoting your destination, product, or brand messages. These services include Instagram take-overs, Twitter chats, Facebook Lives, and customized Pins.
Press Trips
Piper will participate in scheduled press trips, familiarization trips (FAM), or individually hosted trips. She’d love to tell the stories behind your destination. Both the people and the places that make your destination unique.
She confirms assignments in agreed-upon publications before arriving at your destination so that you know precisely where Piper will tell your story.
Proofreading
You’ve worked hard on your promotional materials, from Visitor’s Guides to trail maps. Finally, the document is ready to go to print. Have one more set of eyes on your document, just to be sure.
Piper will read and mark any errors or items you should double-check one last time before it goes to print.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO TELL YOUR STORY
I’d love to tell the stories behind your destination. I’m a midwest-based freelance travel writer and blogger who showcases the world, specializing in stories through a food lens – restaurants, ingredients, and festivals.
While Piper is a lifelong Michigander, she’s had adventures worldwide. Bomb-sniffing dogs chased her in the middle of the night in Bogota (working late), gate agents refused her boarding to Paraguay (wrong visa), and US Marshals announced her seat number on a plane while looking for a murder suspect (she’d traded seats). It’s always an adventure! She even finds exciting activities in her home state of Michigan, where she lives in Lansing with her husband, Ross Dingman, her daughter, Alexis, and two granddaughters.
