I write for fun(ds)
Intro
My name is Tay. I’m a professional wordsmith.
My career began in 2014 as a grant-writer for a grassroots NGO. Today, I specialize in SEO-driven articles, niche blog content, and information architecture.
My expertise is in travel, culture, and writing articles that people actually read. I love long-form writing, as well—including full-length manuscripts. I mainly work with clients in Europe and North America, but I’m open to all inquiries.
I’m bilingual (English, Spanish) and am happy to work with Spanish clients, but I’m only taking on projects in English at this time. (Quizás algún día escriba en español, así que vuelvas más tarde!)
SEO-driven content
I write content for brands, businesses, and marketing teams. I use Neil Patel’s approach to SEO and his SEO research tool, Ubersuggest. Aside from SEO research and integration, I work on information architecture and, more recently, AIO content that’s optimized for AI summaries.
2. Travel content
I use my 20-year background in travel, immigration, and higher education to create travel blogs that inspire and help travelers. I write about cultural topics (etiquette, exchange, etc.), practical tips (like how to apply for a visa), wanderlust (like cool new destinations), and travel news (press releases, advisories, etc.). I specialize in demystifying the act and art of travel.

More about me
I’m a Spanish resident and US citizen who lives full-time in Barcelona. Professionally, I’m looking to get into the weeds with creative projects like fantasy fiction, video game narrative, and niche travel content. I value clear communication, honesty, and openness.
