Megan Lee unsuccessfully tried to dig her way to China from her sandbox when she was 6. Since then, she has traveled, lived, and taught on five continents, and is in constant pursuit of spicy food, fussy coffee, hiking and mountain bike trails, and conversations with strangers (later friends). Her online writing covers the outdoors, travel gear, and personal finance. You can usually find her planning her next trip, walking the nearby trail with her toddler and husband, or drinking cortados (it’s research for her coffee blog, she swears). REI C0-0p Member since 2013.
