Full bio:
Tui Snider is a writer, travel blogger, photographer, and musician specializing in offbeat sites, overlooked history, cultural traditions, and quirky travel destinations. After living in Belgium, Italy, and a tiny island with a population of 7, Tui now calls the state of Texas her home. Even so, she has experienced as much culture shock in the Lone Star State as she ever did overseas!

For Tui, travel is a mindset. Her motto is “Even home is a travel destination,” and she believes “The world is only boring if you take everyone else’s word for it.” Tui has worn a lot of hats in her life – literally – and is especially fond of berets. In addition to writing, she is an avid photographer. Tui is also a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter. She recently began learning the Theremin.

Tui has been writing professionally since 2006, with articles and photos appearing in BMIbaby, easyJet, Wizzit, PlanetEye Traveler, iStopover, SkyEurope, North Texas Farm and Ranch magazines, and many others. She also wrote the shopping chapter for the Time Out Naples: Capri, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast 2010 travel guidebook, and provided photos for the poetry book Wild Woman Waking.

Tui’s first book Unexpected Texas is an Amazon Best Selling travel guide to offbeat and overlooked places within easy reach of the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex. Her next book, Paranormal Texas is a travel guide to haunted places and ghost hunters in north Texas, and is scheduled for release in September, 2014.
