I am the Regional Manager of The Americas for World Nomads (and co-founder of the Travel Massive SF Bay Area chapter!). I have been with World Nomads since Spring 2009. Prior to joining World Nomads, I was the Director of Marketing for Lonely Planet (Americas), where I managed PR, market research, and all consumer, online and trade marketing. In a previous life, I was the co-owner of a Berkeley-based sustainable business manufacturing a recycled glass architectural and interior design material. Born and raised (mostly) in England, I have traveled all my life, love outdoor adventure activities, natural hot springs, and am fluent in Spanish, Mandarin and French, with smatterings of Japanese, Farsi and Portuguese.
