She got a Ph.D. in American literature from NYU and was an editor at Frommer's in New York before she indulged her warm weather - and large living space - fantasies and moved to Tucson, Arizona. She has written about the Southwest and Mexico for a variety of major publications, including National Geographic Traveler, Sunset, the Wall Street Journal, and USAToday.com.
