Hi there! I’m Monica Poling, the editor behind TravelGlitter.com, an online travel resource where I blend my passion for adventure with a little bit of sparkle.

With over 20 years of travel writing experience, I’m also the online editor of TravelAge West Magazine, one of the leading B2B travel trade publications based in Los Angeles, California.

When I’m not at Starbucks, scrolling through flight deals, or indulging in a Hello Kitty obsession, you can find me diving into stories that help travellers explore the world smarter and with more joy. I’m a video game enthusiast, a fan of hotels with killer views, and someone who never turns down a luxury spa day.

Some of my dream trips? Think ice fishing in Ohio’s Put-In Bay, driving Highway 50 – the “Loneliest Road” – across Nevada, cruising Antarctica, sipping rum in its birthplace, Barbados, or sailing through the Greek Islands. Whether it’s a far-flung destination or a hidden gem close to home, I’m always chasing the next great story.

Through Travel Glitter, I share honest reviews, expert tips, and unforgettable travel moments. Whether you’re planning your next escape or just daydreaming, I hope you’ll join me on this glittering journey around the globe.
