Ellie Kozlowski grew up in a suburb of Boston. She's lived in the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade. It is, she thinks, the best place to enjoy the desert, the rainforest, the ocean, and the mountains. She loves adventuring, hiking, stargazing, snowshoeing, and being a tourist in her own state. When she's not driving up a mountainside or along a coast, she's at home in Seattle with her partner and their dog.
