What can I do for you?
Sponsored posts. I will write an honest post about a topic, activity, destination, accommodation, etc., that is appropriate to my site and readers. I currently only accept atypical lodging posts (no hotels) – I will cover log cabins, glamping sites, cottages, or other forms of interesting, alternative lodging. All sponsored posts on My Meena Life will include a disclaimer and no-follow links, as per the Federal Trade Commission guidelines.

Content creation. I’ll write unique content for your website or magazine. If possible, I’ll include my own photography.
My gear: I currently shoot with a Nikon D7100 and edit with Lightroom. Any photos or travels prior to Feb 2017 were shot with my Canon PowerShot SX600 HS.
Why work with me?
- I am very passionate about travel – so passionate that I continue to travel despite having three chronic illnesses.
- I have a unique perspective on travel and living abroad from my time as an American expat in Germany.
- I have traveled extensively in Europe and the United States, and continue to travel as often as possible.
- I focus on honest travel writing, which gives My Meena Life a consistent, trustworthy writing style.
- I have a lovely blog following comprised of expats, world travelers, and the chronic illness community (who love to travel, even if it’s just virtually).
