Phoenix-based Best Western has brought travel writer Amy Graff onboard to add a travel blog to bestwestern.com.

Graff will be the company's travel spokesperson and content source for BestWestern.com's "Trip Planner" section. She will also write a regular blog titled "On the Go with Amy," that chronicles her trips, the first being a business trip to New York City. She follows that up with a Route 66 family road trip on $250 a day.

Graff was editor at VIA, the travel magazine of the California State Automobile Association and contributor to regional lifestyle magazines, including Diablo and San Francisco.
