About The Author

Ellen first traveled overseas at age 15 when her father insisted upon sending her on a school trip to Germany. And that’s when it happened: high atop Switzerland’s Mt. Pilatus, she was bitten by the travel bug and has never quite recovered. Since then, she has traveled to nearly 20 countries on five continents. Her favorite countries include Croatia, Egypt, and Belize. She currently resides in Tianjin, China and continues to hold her father responsible for all the money she has spent on travel since that first trip to Europe.
