Always a writer and communicator personally and professionally, I left NYC and became a solo world traveller for 3 years turning 30 in Hong Kong in the time before pagers. In my 20s, I left my native NYC and traveled the world solo for 3 years, living out of a backpack and learning about other people’s lives and cultures.

As I traveled and upon return, I did some professional travel writing. Soon after, I became a world-renowned Macintosh and then Web writer/speaker.

After many years of staying in Los Angeles to write and teach the Mac and web, although still loving tech, I started moving back into travel and lifestyle writing. After a couple of decades, life in LA changed. I decided to turn those events into opportunities for my life to include full-time travel. From 2011 to 2020, I lived travel, working from wherever I am, living wherever I want or wherever a writing opportunity presents itself.

My travels this millenium…

In 2011, I donned my backpack and took up solo traveling again. Unlike Travel Hackers or most travel bloggers, I don’t count countries. Actually, I don’t count. I live. I experience. I share with those who share with me.Deborah Shadovitz in the IFA press room for an interview. Central America from the Yucatan to Panama — very little “ground” to cover in an entire year. Bits of Eastern Europe. The coast of the Adriatic Sea (former Yugoslavia). Israel. Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech, Cyprus…Through it all, I continued my writing and website work for my clients. As 2018 wound down, I’m still living and working on the road, taking travel breaks in between long-term trips or adventures. Timezones permitting, I discuss the tech on Computer Talk Radio. Time permitting, I post parts of my travel journal on . I also speak about travel when possible.
