Blog, freelance & editorial-style features
I create SEO-focused blog articles, destination guides, hotel and resort coverage, and editorial-style travel features that help travelers decide where to go, where to stay, what to book, and what to know before they go. My work is informed by experience as a Yahoo Creator and freelance travel contributor.
Social content, search strategy & ongoing promotion
I create short-form video, carousel posts, stories, and social-first travel content, with promotion across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, and Flipboard. Campaigns can also include search-informed blog content, strategic updates, story links, automated โcomment for linkโ triggers, and platform promotion that helps content get discovered and keep reaching travelers after launch.
Drone imagery, photography & licensed UGC
I capture photography, short-form video, drone imagery, and UGC-style content that can be licensed for use on your own platforms. This can include hotel and resort visuals, destination photography, aerial footage, experience-focused video, website imagery, newsletter assets, social media content, and campaign creative for tourism boards, hotels, brands, and travel partners.
Itโs nice to meet you!
Hi, Iโm Adrienne Barile, a Washington, DCโbased travel writer, photographer, content creator, Yahoo Creator, Fodorโs video contributor, and licensed drone operator.
Through The Haphazard Traveler, freelance editorial work, Yahoo features, and social platforms, I reach a travel audience of 500,000+ readers and viewers each month.
I create destination-focused travel content through in-depth articles, short-form video, photography, and drone storytelling, pairing editorial insight with strong visual assets and strategic distribution.
My work focuses on cultural travel, boutique and luxury-leaning stays, culinary travel, city breaks, and under-the-radar destinations and experiences. Iโm especially interested in places, properties, and stories that give travelers a more specific reason to go.

As a Yahoo Creator and freelance travel contributor, I create consumer-friendly travel stories with national editorial reach. Through The Haphazard Traveler, I create SEO-focused blog coverage, photography, video, drone content, and social promotion across Pinterest, Flipboard, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, helping content get discovered and continue reaching travelers long after launch.
