Bio in a Box

I'm editor-in-chief of Galavanting, an online women's travel magazine. I'm also a freelance writer on topics from politics, to parenting, to freethought. 

Oh, and I've got five great kids; three of my own, and two who came with the love of my life.

I'm off to film a few more Galavanting episodes -- one on Rome, one on Tuscany and another on hiking the Cinque Terre trail. It should be a blast, and I'm relieved to have gotten my renewed passport in time. It's pretty snazzy (and a little creepy), I tell you all about why in my vlog post.

The Rome episode may of course include a joke or two from Katy and me about women having to cover their shoulders (during a visit to the Vatican), but men not needing to cover their penises (with condoms to prevent aids during sex in Africa) -- according to the Pope. Please direct all hate mail to our PO Box.

Anyhoo, what are your favorite places in Rome & Tuscany...or what do you most want to see when you someday visit?

Hi Kim-

Also going to Rome...at the end of May. Have been once myself as well, for the usual tourist visit. This time going to stay in Monti and hoping to have a more local visit. I am especially interested in checking out Obikå- the mozzarella bar, going to the Porta Portese flea market, walking the Appian Way and wandering the tiny streets of Trastevere. Oh, and gelato of course!!

Will be tuning in to follow your travels, especially Cortona, as I haven't made it there yet.

Buon Viaggio!

Awesome - a mozzarella bar? I'm there! :) I'm really looking forward to Cortona and the whole trip, thanks for following along!
