About Megan & Moderately Excited

Hi there! I’m Megan. I try to make the most of every trip I take and so I created this site to help other humans who love to travel do the same.

I make travel planning less stressful by doing important research for you, saving you time and resources.

I am a working professional and a nature and fitness enthusiast, and though my husband and I have different travel styles (I’m a culture junkie and he enjoys relaxing) we try to create balanced itineraries to places that are easy to fit in a short or long weekend or within the span of a week and offer active travel activities, opportunities to relax and explore the region through food.

My website, Moderately Excited, is a collection of original photo travel guides that act as educational resources and share more about these trips to help you make the most of your travel time and live a life full of adventure and exploration.

How Can I Help You?

I’d love to learn about your unique business objectives and the story you want to tell. Email me at megan@moderatelyexcited(dot)com or download my press kit here.

Brands I’ve Worked With

What you can expect on Moderately Excited:

Do you sell your photography?

Yes I do! Ever since I was young, I’ve loved capturing the colorful and interesting world around me - I think of a photo as a ticket to a moment that would otherwise be gone. I love teleporting myself through my photos and reliving my experiences through visual art. I have taken and own the rights to all of the photos on this website, unless otherwise noted on the work. I hope you find them as emotionally-charged as I do! If you are interested in purchasing a photo, please email me at megan@moderatelyexcited(dot)com and we can discuss specifics!

Can we collaborate?

Heck yes we can!! I love sharing as much knowledge as possible with my readers, and I would love to do the same for your audiences. My audience is highly engaged and comes to me for advice and inspiration for their next adventure, especially for getaways they can fit in their busy schedules between work and other responsibilities. No matter what your objective, I’d be happy to discuss your vision to create a mutually beneficial relationship. I have also been working professionally in digital and content marketing for over 6 years and would be happy to work with your team on strategy or training programs. For a full list of opportunities, see below and email me at megan@moderatelyexcited(dot)com or download my press kit here.

Types of collaboration opportunities:

  • Original photography: I know how tough it is to create quality photos - but I also know how important they are for today’s visually-driven world. I’ve worked in photography for over 13 years and am passionate about visual storytelling!
  • Dedicated content/coverage: from hotel highlights to reviews of places to see, things to do and what to eat, I love balancing work with play and experiencing new things to share with my readers.
  • Guest post/sponsored opportunities: I am always looking for the best travel technology, accessories or anything that will make short getaways or longer trips even better or less stressful.
  • Content collaboration: much like photography, I know how hard it can be to find quality content. I have created many collaborative pieces involving copywriting, editing, social media creation and even graphic design, in addition to photography. I am also happy to assist with content strategy I have over 6 years of experience in digital marketing.
  • Press trips: I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism. Coupled with my 13 years in photography and 6+ years in digital marketing, content and social media, I am confident I will be able to tell the story of your destination in a visually-stimulating and unique way and convey why it’s the perfect place for a weekend getaway or destination vacation.

You look pretty excited. Probably more than Moderately Excited. What’s the story?

I never felt like a  “blogger” in the traditional sense of the word, but all my passions, hobbies and skills have essentially led up to this moment. When I first began, I wasn’t passionate about one subject in particular. However, as I’ve refined this colorful explosion of curiosity and perspective (aka this website), I have discovered more of what gets me truly excited, which I love sharing with people. So basically, an oxymoron (which, by definition, is a combination of contradictory words). Because life is too short for boring.
