ABOUT
Deb is a freelance travel writer whose work takes her across the country to find the most unique attractions that destinations have to offer.
An avid fan of the strange and bizarre, she enjoys nothing more than exploring the hallways of haunted locales, searching for Bigfoot in the great outdoors, finding aliens in Roswell and mixing it up with a great cocktail.
She is a young empty nester that lives at home with her husband, Alan, and her loveable Maltipoo, BB (short for Brutus the Barbarian because small dogs need big names) in a small northern Michigan town.
She suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust, is a self-proclaimed wimp when it comes to extreme adventures, but is the first in line for ghost hunts.
In addition to travel, she enjoys cooking, creating cocktails and making her small home cozy.
Deb has been fortunate enough to work with a number of brands and destinations and looks forward to sharing more stories.
Just Short of Crazy is about showing that life doesn’t have to be crazy, Instead, it’s meant to be lived to the fullest through travel, great food, and making epic memories.
It’s about sharing things that make life easier and things she loves. Food she enjoys. Cocktails she sips. Road trips she adores.
She invites you to pour a cocktail or cup of coffee and read about embracing an almost crazy-free life.
