So, just who is this Destination Diva, you ask?
A veteran broadcast reporter, Sally Walker Davies left broadcast journalism after ten years
on the air to be at home with her children. During that time, she continued to work as a
freelance journalist as well as a media advisor to corporate and political clients. It was
after a long campaign that she took a few days to herself in the charming town of
Holland, Michigan -- and her experience there inspired her to return to journalism, with a
focus on travel.
Sally is a travel columnist for The Commercial Appeal; her bi-monthly Get Outta Town
column features great destinations, deals, and gear for travelers.
Sally is a regular contributor to AOL Travel, DisneyFamily.com, and The Tennessean. Her
work has also appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Detroit Free Press, Cincinnati
Enquirer, Chicago Sun-Times, BritishAirways.com, and Whatsonwhen.com. She is the
author of the Intelliguide destination reports on Louisville, Tennessee and Nashville,
featured on major Web sites.
Sally is the recipient of the 2007 Mississippi Tourism Association Travel Writer award, and is a
member of the Society of American Travel Writers. She is currently working on her first book,
An Explorer's Guide: Tennessee, from Countryman Press, hitting bookshelves in Spring 2011.
Sally is a graduate of Michigan State University and currently resides with her children in
Memphis, Tennessee.
