Tracey Harris-Haner Expert Guru

I am a freelance writer and photographer from Washington state. I have lived in several states and travel often for extended stays to parts of Europe and the United Kingdom. Before moving to Washington in 2003 I had my own online travel agency/ informational travelogue specializing in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and spend much of my free time in both countries, as I have family in both locations. I currently work for a major online travel website as a travel agent, and I have written for several online travel websites and my photographs have been published and can be seen online as well. When I am not working or traveling I spend my free time with my husband,daughters and two dogs enjoying the northwest.
