  • Nina lives in Colorado, where she spends her summers hiking, camping, and exploring.
  • Having a brother with Cerebral Palsy, she is always on the lookout for accessible travel destinations.
  • She's been a professional writer since 2020, focusing on travel, the great outdoors, and animals.

Experience

Though Nina traveled much of the United States in her youth, she never had an opportunity to travel much internationally until she reached adulthood. Instead, she traveled vicariously through others while reading blogs and novels. Since then, she's fallen in love with exploring the world and writing about her own life experiences. Nina has two dogs that go everywhere with her, even when exploring.

Education

Nina went to college at Colorado State University, where she earned a degree in fish, wildlife, and conservation biology. Deciding that wasn't enough education for her, she also minored in global environmental sustainability.
