Travel Enthusiast & Professional Writer
Before she could walk, Alicia was traveling internationally. And she just kept going! She has explored the US, Canada, Mexico, Africa, Asia, the UK, and continental Europe. A deep-seated love of travel also brought her to the team at Places to Travel.
Her writings, like her travels, are motivated by curiosity, especially about people and cultures. That curiosity even drove her to earn a doctorate in English literature from the University of Oxford.
As a mother, Alicia is keen to scope out family-friendly excursions. Since she gets recharged through natural beauty, adventures, running, and a good meal, those themes get a lot of attention in her articles!
Lastly, she is very fond of her gray tabby cat, Anatoly the Brave, who accompanied her from Germany to California, where she now lives. Anatoly’s main contribution here, though, is a stray paw on the keyboard. Alicia also hosts a writing podcast, called literatepodcast.com where you can follow her writing adventures.
