<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2113608/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Hello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. This week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome freelance travel writer Ashley Kosciolek. Ashley is a former editor at Cruise Critic for 12 years, but I really got to know her work during her time writing mainly about cruises but also some general travel articles wrote about cruises for The Points Guy. Ashley can address virtually any cruise-related topic from the consumer side, and even make topics about as exciting as watching grass grow—like travel insurance—worth reading about. On numerous occasions over the past couple of years in response to one of her articles, I considered reaching out to her regarding visiting us on The Joy of Cruising Podcast. I finally get a chance to welcome Ashley. Ashley Kosciolek is a travel writer with nearly 20 years of experience covering the cruise industry. Following more than a decade as a staff editor at TripAdvisor company Cruise Critic, she spent four years as a senior writer on the cruise team at The Points Guy, with coverage ranging from ship reviews, destination reports, and industry news to tips articles, planning pieces and first-person features. You can also find her freelance work on Cruise.blog, Royal Caribbean Blog, and Cruise Radio. Ashley has sailed with every major cruise brand (and most of the lesser-known ones, too) and has been quoted as an expert by USA Today, the Associated Press, CBS, Forbes, NBC News, the Miami Herald, the Huffington Post, "Good Morning America," The New York Times, and more. You can follow her adventures on Instagram: @slyjabroni.Do you have a dream car?<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulth">Support the show</a>Support thejoyofcruisingpodcast <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/new'>https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/new</a> Support Me <a href='https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulth'>https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulth</a> Contact Me <a href='https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.html'>https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.html</a> Book Cruises <a href='http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/'>http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/</a> US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast) The Joy of Cruising <a href='https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruising'>https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruising</a> Cruising Interrupted <a href='https://bit.ly/CruisingInterrupted'>https://bit.ly/CruisingInterrupted</a> The Joy of Cruising Again <a href='https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgain'>https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgain</a> Intl Orders via Amazon
