She has bungee jumped in Australia, sipped tea in centuries-old Japanese teahouses, and gushed over penguins in Antarctica. She is a triple citizen of the U.S., Brazil, and Italy and speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian, but if you start talking about bagels and pizza, you’ll quickly discover her NYC roots.

Jamie writes reported features, hotel reviews, and round-ups for various publications. She is also the co-author of two Lonely Planet guidebooks: Spain 14 and Experience Spain.

Jamie also offers editing, copywriting, ghostwriting, and consultation services.
