Kelly is an award-winning travel writer and the Managing Editor of TravelAge West, Family Getaways and Explorer magazines.
Around her home base of Los Angeles, she can often be found hitting the beach, trying new restaurants, exploring local film and television culture, testing out recipes in her home kitchen or enjoying downtime with her husband and cat. She's an avid reader and an enthusiastic home cook and baker.
Kelly's lifelong love of travel has resulted in a deep appreciation for the world's natural wonders and a constant pursuit of in-depth cultural exploration. While out on the road, some of her favorite activities include wildlife sightings, culinary discovery and wandering cities on foot.
In her writing, she is especially passionate about sharing untold stories, promoting sustainable and responsible tourism, exploring local cuisine and highlighting diverse cultural perspectives (such as in her award-winning story on Indigenous travel).
