My name is Carol White Llewellyn and I’m the Finger Lakes Travel Maven.
I’ve long been interested in both travel and writing. The year I spent living in France and traveling across Europe while I was in college succeeded in whetting my appetite for the joys of travel. Before moving back to Rochester, where I’d attended college, I was employed at The Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) in NYC, a not-for-profit trade association focused on advertising, marketing and media research.
At the ARF, I rose to SVP, Communications and enjoyed managing the organization’s marketing, communications, conferences and trade shows, which gave me the opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally and to leverage my interest in writing. I also became the Managing Editor of The Journal of Advertising Research.
About three years ago, I, my husband and twin daughters, who you’ll see in some of the photos, moved from Westchester, NY to Rochester where I became the Associate Publisher of Travelhost of Rochester & the Finger Lakes magazine. I was editor, writer, photgrapher and handled advertising sales and copywriting.
Although I no longer publish the magazine, the Finger Lakes Region is so rich in things to do that I continue to share my explorations of its treasures.
I am a regular contributor to various regional magazines and I blog professionally.
If you would like me to cover your tourism-oriented business, or businesses and attractions in your locale within the Finger Lakes, contact me at: CWhiteLlewellyn @ msn .com. (Using no spaces, traditional .com format)
