Just what makes Marybeth a gutsy traveler? She has walked, hiked, climbed, cycled and kayaked her way through six continents and more than 70 countries around the world. Her travels have taken her from the depths of the Flores Sea to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, across the Himalayas and the Sahara Desert. She made her first gutsy decision, when she left a successful corporate career, put her worldly possessions in storage and bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok. While some thought (and told her) she was nuts, she traveled 'single and solo' for two years around the world. It was during her travels she discovered the gutsy woman within herself and had the time of her life.
Marybeth continues to criss-cross the globe educating, enlightening and empowering others to explore it through travel. Whether your idea of a "gutsy traveler" is taking your first plane ride across the Atlantic, navigating the promenades of Paris, or going rafting in the Rockies, Marybeth's travel tips, know-how and practical advice will guide you along the way
Currently the Adventure Editor for travelgirl magazine, a National Geographic Author, her articles have been published in magazines and newspapers around the country.
Marybeth is a member of National Association of Journalists and Authors and the Society of American Travel Writers and was an advisor for Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.
She lives in Northern California with her husband, (whom she met while trekking in Nepal!) two daughters and the family dog, a yellow Lab named “Tuscany”.
