“Wow, Susan, I’m sure you’re tired of accolades, but “The Insatiable Traveler” is one of the best blogs I’ve come across. Please feel thoroughly satisfied your efforts for quality content are not taken for granted by those with a passion for world travel….”

“Your itinerary of MIUP was incredibly helpful for our fall trip. You were spot on with so many things: dates for best fall foliage, recommendations on lodging and activities (loved Birch Lodge, Larium Inn, Roam Inn, Americinn), Quincy Mine tour, Filborn Karst Preserve, Brockway Mountain drive, The Jam Pot, Porkies’ Lake of the Clouds, and many awesome hikes. It’s been a grand 12-day trip and I highly recommend your blog to anyone needing a jump start to planning. As a first time visitor, I really appreciated your information. Thanks!.”

“Susan, thank you so much for your story about visiting the Great Bear Rainforest (on the Amateur Traveler Podcast). It sounds magical. Because of you, I will hopefully be taking the trip sooner rather than later. Thank you so much! “

“Oh this post is amazing. Literally gave me goosebumps. It would be quite the experience anyway, but you capture and retell it beautifully. A bucket list trip for sure!” 

“Susan, you have inspired me to do a solo photography safari. I’m leaving next month for a nine-day So Africa and Botswana Safari…. I can’t wait and I’m studying your blog, and your image posts for inspiration. Many thanks for sharing your journeys with so many of us. Look forward to your updates.”

I would say Susan is a photographer first and a writer second, but she is so widely published that wouldn’t be fair. Let’s just say she is both, a mix of highly personal storytelling with stunning photographs. You’ll love her photo tips – a great blog for travelers who care about  visuals and stories.

“You have been an inspiration to me. Three trips to Africa, European trips and more to come. I became interested in photography after my first Africa trip, Botswana. I credit your writing with interesting me in that groundbreaking trip. Keep it up!”

We appreciate you bringing to life in such a colorful way the places you experience, Susan. Absolutely ❤❤❤ your photos and writing style!

“Wonderful essay, full of drama and excitement. You have a knack for storytelling. Thanks!”

“Wow! This was the most detailed Kenya safari planning guide I’ve come across! I’m currently planning a trip to Kenya and this is definitely going to be useful.

“By the way – I think we’re on the same trip, which is appropriate, since your blog about your last trip convinced me to go with Wild Eye.”

“There’s so much life and soul in your images Susan! Your text is just as captivating too. I appreciate your work, your craft and your passion”

This is my first time visiting your blog, but I will be back. Your photos, and the story you tell are simply wonderful. Thanks for taking me with you.”
