Tami Brooks has been writing on and off her entire life but never got serious about it until O Magazine featured a letter about her trip to the Grand Canyon. Combining her passion for exploration, natural curiosity, and experience in the tourism industry, Brooks went all-in on the writing business.

Jokingly referring to herself as a hiker by day and hedonist by night, Brooks prefers to explore new spots at a slower pace, often by hiking, pedaling, or paddling, without giving up all the creature comforts. When she's not on the trail, in the kayak, or on the bike, she can be found on the back deck with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, plotting her next adventure.
