Personal Post written 10 September 2009
I am asking you to please "wishlist" my trip called "Lounging in the Turquoise Pools of Semuc Champey, Guatemala." If I win the grand prize I will donate a total of $5000--$1000 each to 5 non-profit organizations.

I am a peanut butter lover. I also am a Bay-Area based writer focusing on issues of travel, sustainability, and social justice. I have hiked Guatemalan volcanoes, woken up to the eerie roar of howler monkeys in Belize, been haunted by death camp crematoriums in Poland, seen cheesy African pop videos on a bumpy bus ride in Kenya, and once got addicted to baklava in Turkey. In addition to being a regular contributor to Matador Travel Network, I write for Planetwize, Terrain Magazine, and Oakland
