First Place, Travel Writing – OC Press Club Awards!

  • September 27, 2011
  • Brad A. Johnson

I’m excited to announce that I won First Place in the OC Press Club Awards for my travel article La Dolce Grotta, a story about the ancient cave village of Matera, Italy. Matera was once considered the shame of Italy. But not anymore. You can read the article here.

For more travel inspiration and photos, I invite you to follow me and join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
