Max Hartshorne
GoNOMAD Editor
and owner
Editor Max Hartshorne in Medellin, Colombia. photo by Paul Shoul.

Max got his first editor's job at 21, when he helped start the Portland Chronicle in Maine. He has worked in production, advertising sales, web design and editing for the past twenty-seven years, most recently at Transitions Abroad. His writing has been published in many newspapers and other publications including the Hartford and Valley Advocates, the UMass Press and Traveler's Tales Books.

GoNOMAD is a longtime dream come true, since after so many years he wanted to have his own forum for writers, travelers and photographers to share their amazing stories and provide information about places around the world. Now not only can he travel and write, but he serves up a mean latte in his GoNOMAD Cafe, the center of the travel website's universe.

Sony Stark
Travel Writer and Photographer


After 12 years of chasing news for CBS TV in Albany, New York, Sony Stark decided to quit the 'biz' and venture out on her own. She started a traveling video production company aptly named PilotGirl Productions and freelances for corporate, not-for-profit, and television networks. She's traveled extensively throughout the world shooting documentaries in Venezuela, Brazil, South Africa, India, China, Taiwan and Japan. Her latest pursuit has her writing, shooting and editing a television show for GoNomad based on our growing pool of professional writers. Her latest acquisition, a Sony HD camera, has itself planted as a permanent fixture on her shoulder. When she's not working you'll find her scuba-diving Mauritius, skiing Big Sky or catching an independent flick at some funky art house.

Sony writes a blog called Cross That Bridge.
