• During her tenure as a writer for one of the web's top travel sites, she quickly catapulted the state of Indiana, of all places, into one of the top most-visited states on the site.

Experience

Tori Jane wrote for travel powerhouse Only In Your State for nearly half a decade, carefully crafting more than 2,000 articles along the way. Her focus were the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Indiana. In 2024, she started her own blog about the state of Arizona and its hidden, often-overlooked wonders. She has published articles and photographs in ROVA Magazine, FLAUNT Magazine, and numerous other publications. She hopes her work and her words will foster a fierce love for parts of the country often dubbed "Flyover Country" by most.
