In response to the 2009 national No Child Left Inside Act, I teamed up with the Appalachian Mountain Club to explore the urban outdoors for "Outdoors With Kids New York City: 100 Fun Places to Go In and Around the City." The book became the first NYC guide devoted exclusively to outdoors exploration. As a former Peace Corps volunteer in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, I once lived life largely outdoors, and as such, I continue to research, blog, and plain old enjoy the outdoors as much as possible with our my children, Riley and Halina.
