It's time for a preview
A mountain of gratitude for Savory Exposure 2.0
In 2020, in the thick of the pandemic, I decided to sign up for Substack with a return to writing. I’ve always enjoyed it, paid a bit of coin for that good ol’ bachelor's degree, and was an early food blogger, before the words influencer and creator became commonplace for people who made money on the internet. I attended Substack’s first writer conference virtually and was inspired but then, nothing!
Fast forward to now, and I’m ready for action. The blogging and social media landscape is changing rapidly and I’m embracing that change and looking forward to sharing my experiences beyond what’s capable in a tweet, an Instagram reel, a TikTok, or a Facebook post. I’m looking forward to sharing food and photography, both things that Savory Exposure 1.0 was known for. Savory Exposure has been profiled in Upscale Magazine, The Georgia Voice and Atlanta’s indie newspaper Creative Loafing. Check the Georgia Voice profile here.
Savory Exposure 2.0 on Substack will be that and more. Bare with me while I get the walls painted and floors cleaned up. I’ve got some new tools and am furiously learning the worlds of audio and video.
I’d planned to launch in September, but surprisingly a few patrons already trusted me enough for me to receive my first paid subscriptions. It means the world to me that as I look towards a long-term goal of relying on a portion of my income on content creation, as well as other work I’m doing behind the scenes in digital marketing.
If you do follow me on IG, you know that I love to travel. This will definitely be a part of my presence here on Substack. While sitting in quarantine, I thought a lot about the insane amount of travel that I did a few years prior, from Belgium to India to Brussels. I’m by no means a rich man (HA!) but none of my airfares were over $500 and my accommodations were budget all the way. Would you be interested in hearing about budget travel tips? Let me know by replying, I want to give my readers what you want!
The photos I’ve chosen to include during this preview post were taken throughout Mexico. I’ve never been to Cancun or Cabo San Lucas, but I have traveled to 13 out of the 32 states in the republic. A bit of a warning, if you’re one of those “Build That Wall” supporters, you might be disappointed in the space I’m creating here.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for subscribing to my newsletter. It means the world to me!
