About Erin

Erin Albanese recently joined the GTM editorial team as a staff writer, and is becoming accustomed to all things group travel, a new frontier for her.

As she writes, she is rapidly adding to her new bucket list of the many group-friendly places she must see in person. A new one seems to make the list every day!

As a journalist specializing in reporting and editing since her graduation from Central Michigan University, she has written for The Grand Rapids Press, Advance Newspapers, On-the-Town Magazine and other publications.

Mother of two, her favorite sources for funny quips are her 8-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter, and sometimes her husband. She enjoys the simple thing in life: beginning the day by starting the coffee pot, ending it with a glass of wine and a novel, and somewhere in between fitting in a walk, a laugh and a good conversation.
