About Me
I am a freelance writer focused on adventure travel and sustainability, although I also write about food and culture. I am a regular contributor to Matador Network where I was previously outdoor editor. I write for Monocle travel and contribute to Monocle's The Globalist podcast.

Previously, I authored several editions of Frommer's San Francisco with Kids and Frommer's San Francisco Day by Day. My writing has also appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Indagare Magazine, WestJet Magazine, TravelWorld International Magazine, Tablet Magazine, Take the Table, The Expeditioner, Go Adventure Travel, and several other print and online outlets.

I have written on non-travel topics for Parenthood Publications, the Olympic News Service (Vancouver), Jornal do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro), and the Associated Press (Berlin). 

I've lived and worked on five continents. I received my BA in International Relations with departmental honors from Stanford University, and earned a Master of International Affairs degree at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and German, and I get by in French, Italian, and Catalan.
