Amanda Baltazar, Contributing Writer
Based on an island in the Pacific Northwest, Amanda Baltazar writes about retail, restaurants and bars. In 1996, she visited the U.S. intending to stay for just three weeks, but 20 years later she finds herself still here, yet still missing her native England.
A journalist since before she emigrated, she now works out of her home, surrounded by water and mountains.
Amanda lives with her husband and daughter and when she’s not working, she’s playing with dolls, baking bread, reading, taking her bike out for a spin, or getting roped into a needlework project, even though she hates sewing.
