I'm Tui Snider, a freelance writer with a passion for photography who believes that even home is a travel destination.

I blog about thought-provoking, fun, unique, cultural, tasty & quirky things I find wherever I am - whether that's Italy, NYC, London or my own backyard here in Texas.

I especially enjoy writing photo essays and reviews of restaurants, attractions and theater. Shoot me an email if you would like to me to review something for you.

I'm currently working on a memoir based upon the 5 years I spent living on a tiny island with a population of 7, so each week I blog about the craft of writing.

Unless otherwise stated, all words and photos are my own.

Please say hi. I would love to hear from you either in the comments section or in an email sent to mentalmosaic [at] gmail [dot] com. Thank you for stopping by!
