Geeves Joy
Freelance Travel & Lifestyle Writer
Sometimes it takes being hit in the eye with a pencil for your whole life to change. That’s what happened to me when (during a freak accident), a pencil attached to a paper airplane landed in my eye and doctors were able to, strangely enough, diagnose their mystery patient with Lupus, which had long been undetected.
In the years to follow, my life would look very different from the lives of other young people. Ever the optimist, I found something to get me through. The disease may have kept me bed ridden, but it also gave me the gift of magazines thanks to my many doctors visits.
Clinging onto these stories like a life raft, I would dream of better days when I’d get to fly around the world, experiencing the best restaurants, hotels and sceneries life had to offer, just like the writers did in my magazines. It wasn’t long before the writers’ stories fueled my own passion for writing, which I took up during my time in isolation.
Fast forward a decade later to my Lupus in remission… (knock on wood). Having carved an untraditional path for myself, I’ve fulfilled my life-long goal of traveling and writing full-time.
I am my father’s daughter, a proud Asian American and a Lupus warrior.
My Work
My interests and experiences are diverse, allowing me to cover many topics. However, my focus is on travel and lifestyle. Think, exciting destinations, adventures and travel reviews (both luxury & budget hotels, restaurants & experiences). I’ve contributed to numerous travel publications, local brands and tourist boards including Visit Carson City and Travel Dudes.
My work has also been featured in publications such as Sexual Health Magazine and Live UTI Free, where I was able to connect with women facing real issues while sharing my own experiences.
You can expect my articles to be authentic, informative and upbeat.
