I'm Shelley, a journeyer and learner of the world, freelance journalist and author, yoga chick and dog lover. I pound the keyboard from home barefoot every day, and while my boss is demanding she also occasionally lets me have the early afternoon cocktail. I think not going into an office or collecting corporate paychecks are very good ideas, though not always profitable. I have written for National Geographic, USA Today, Globe Pequot Press, Andrew Harper Traveler and CNN, among others. Neither the New York Times nor Johnny Depp have answered my letters yet.
I love yoga, wine, and books, though not necessarily in that order. I believe in karma. Mean people suck. If I could have any dream job I would like to be a superhero. I don't know how to whistle. I was once robbed by a monkey in Nepal.
My mantra is "travel with a purpose."
