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.
She is the author of An Explorer's Guide: Tennessee, from Countryman Press, released in
June, 2011, and collaborated with Stephanie Jones on King Me: The Rock 'n' Roll Royalty
Tour -- an Elvis-themed travel app from Sutro Media. She is currently at work on two more
apps from Sutro: Essential Memphis and BBQ Wars, both due out in 2011.
Sally is a former travel columnist for The Commercial Appeal; her bi-monthly Get Outta
Town column featured great destinations, deals, and gear for travelers.

Web sites.
