About me

Welcome to Martha Miller Writes!  

I’m a freelance writer, blogger and author passionate about travel, living abroad, sustainability, and minimalism. I love a cozy home and try to be thoughtful about how my my dollars are spent. Maybe you’re of a similar mind.

My book and blog about travel and living abroad are written in hopes of encouraging others to be bold and take action sooner rather than later. We’ve all said or thought, “not now, but someday.” Sadly, nothing says we’ll live until someday comes or have the good health to enjoy it then. Another BIG reason to do it now is that you can enjoy the memories and the impact for the rest of your life!

A bit about me – I’m a two-time expat from the U. S. currently living in Valencia, Spain. My husband John and I have also lived in Italy, and I wrote a book about the two years we lived in Rome titled, “Times New Roman: How We Quit Our Jobs, Gave Away Our Stuff & Moved to Italy.” At TimesNewRomanBook.com you can view pictures of our tiny apartment in Trastevere and read book reviews and blurbs and see pics from a Barnes & Noble event. There’s also a radio interview we did with Mike the Wine Guy.

What’s next? I’ve been dreaming of spending some time in the south of France as I’ve never been, and it looks soooo charming! I aim to make that happen in the next few months.

When I look back on my travel life, it’s the trips I didn’t take that I regret the most. Many of us think we should wait for just the right time. With that in mind, here’s my latest post about why I took an impromptu trip in the middle of winter, “Belgium in January? Yes, Virginia, There is an Off Season.” I’d love to hear your comments.

Have a wonderful day!
