I am a writer, curious about the world around me. I grew up with open lands I could explore as a kid and that helped shape my love of the outdoors. My visits to the national parks help me reconnect with myself and discover anew the natural world. I worked as an archaeologist before becoming a journalist, and still find the study of history and culture fascinating. Now, I edit a parenting magazine and often write about the parks as family travel destinations. I do so because I believe if we, as parents, can expose our children to the wonders of nature, we will ensure the continued conservation of these magical places.
