Cruise Watch was developed by Susan in 1999 as a much needed Alaska cruising guide. She has maintained it ever since. Susan's nine visits to the 49th State have taken her from Mt. McKinley to Ketchikan. Website Content Services

Hello and welcome to Susan Milne.com. I live in Vancouver, B.C. where I operate Website Content Services. Over the years I have worked on many websites from clothing shops to scientific associations. Travel has been my specialty. I have worked on many travel publications in both print and online including six years with CruiseMates.com. See the Travel-Write page with links to some of my reviews and articles and the travel logs below listing my travel experience . You'll notice this page is connected to Cruise Watch, my first website created in November 1999 and maintained ever since. Cruise Watch is a resource for passengers sailing from Vancouver to Alaska, something that was much needed at the time. It was the logical site for my graduation project for the Digital Production for Print and Web program I completed that year. I had been living in Vancouver for five years and a travel writer for 10 when I created Cruise Watch. My academic background is in Music which has given me analytical skills and discipline, both of which are helpful in Internet Publishing. Please with any questions and to discuss your content projects. I am happy to supply portfolio examples and my complete resumé upon request.  |
