Wearing my Travel Writer Hat on a Press Trip to San Antonio, Texas
Photos, story by Cassie Hepler
Perhaps you think I am just a model and an actress. Nope, I am much more than just a pretty face as beauty and brains can co-exist my friends! I have been a reporter (and dabbling in photography) since I was 16 years old, starting as an intern at a local hometown newspaper. Even at that age, travel has always been a passion of mine starting with a trip touring France and falling in love with Le Mont Saint Michel. I love documenting moments in time and sharing the beauty of the world with others. People ask me all the time where to vacation so this made a perfect fit while adding travel to my own personal blog and my Explore brand. I had the pleasure of being invited to San Antonio, Texas through the tourism board and enjoyed three nights and four days of delicious food, luxury settings and divine champagne. You can read all about it on my Explore-Philly.com blog and check out some behind the scene photos below!
The next press trips will be in no specific order: Arizona, Germany, Nyack, NY and unfortunately not able to attend the upcoming VisitBucksCountry.com‘s trip as I will be taking a private vacation down the Jersey Shore over my birthday week – and for once, maybe not writing about it! Keep ’em coming fellow travel lovers, you know once you’ve got the bug it’s hard to stop. Personally, I’d like to see some more stamps in my passport! Email cassiehepler@hotmail.com.
