Laura Kiniry is a freelance journalist specializing in travel, food, and culture. Born on the East Coast, she still considers herself a Jersey Girl (South Jersey, near Philly) despite making her home in San Francisco for the last two decades. Over the years, she's embarked on a six-month solo journey across Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand, spent a summer working in Montana's Glacier National Park, and traveled across the U.S. by Amtrak train numerous times. She occasionally harvests olives in Italy, and her favorite European city is Berlin. Fingers crossed, her next big trip abroad will be to Vietnam.
