Author Biography
In a sheltered redwood canyon on the coastline of Big Sur, Shelly Rivoli enjoyed her first camping trip as a mom with her husband and daughter of three months. She quickly learned from day hikes, camping trips, lengthy road trips, and overseas travel with her growing family, that getting out the door with children isn't easy--but exploring the wonders awaiting on its other side is everything. Shelly's award-winning travel writing has guided families on adventures throughout her home state of California and abroad. Her family travel tips and advice have been quoted in numerous publications, including Redbook, Real Simple, Parents, Fit Pregnancy, The Globe and Mail, The Boston Globe, and the L.A. Times.
