Madeline Weinfield has been dreaming about travel for as long as she can remember. She has traveled through Borneo by river boat, learned to fly fish in the Catskills, waltzed at a ball in Vienna, endured seasickness on the Drake’s Passage, mushed in Lapland, and searched for the northern lights on an island off of Labrador all for the sake of a compelling story. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, AFAR, Lonely Planet, Oxford American, Southern Living, Air Mail, Thrillist, and other publications.
