Christy Nichol­son is a writer, edi­tor, and recov­er­ing per­fec­tion­ist from Nashville, Ten­nessee. When not trav­el­ing with fam­i­ly, she enjoys cozy days at home read­ing, gar­den­ing, mak­ing music, and wran­gling two awe­some kids. Christy writes at Any-Worth.com about trav­el and sus­tain­able living. 

Saman­tha is a con­tribut­ing writer for Trav­e­lAge West and Fam­i­ly Get­aways mag­a­zines. She was born and raised in South­ern Cal­i­for­nia and spent 10 years work­ing in tele­vi­sion pro­duc­tion after grad­u­at­ing from UCLA. As the moth­er of two teenagers, Saman­tha has a par­tic­u­lar affin­i­ty for writ­ing about fam­i­ly trav­el and theme parks. But, as a food­ie, she also loves writ­ing about her many food-relat­ed trav­el adven­tures. Saman­tha enjoys pho­tog­ra­phy and is for­ev­er thank­ful for the great pho­to ops her trav­els provide.

Mor­gan is a brand design­er and writer who splits her time between man­ag­ing her cre­ative stu­dio, Atlas + Anchor, and writ­ing about her life­long love affair with trav­el. A wan­der­lus­ter at heart, she’s a big pro­po­nent of explor­ing the roads less trav­eled because they often lead to amaz­ing views, mem­o­rable sto­ries, and the most unas­sum­ing but life-chang­ing restau­rants. Orig­i­nal­ly from Ohio, Mor­gan now lives in the heart of Chica­go with her fam­i­ly and is quite pos­si­bly the only per­son with­in city lim­its who hates deep dish pizza.
