Jeannette Kimmel

Jeannette's a Pacific Northwest girl with Midwest roots, having divided her childhood between Seattle and St. Louis. She caught the travel bug early on, after countless family road trips and camping adventures across the states. In 2005 Jeannette studied philosophy and anthropology at New Zealand's University of Otago in Dunedin. After traveling extensively through the country and (barely) surviving the bitter South Island winter she moved to Melbourne, Australia, where she did a short stint at Lonely Planet Publications before returning to Washington, D.C. to finish her journalism degree at American University.

Before joining Traveler Jeannette worked for Posterity Press, Inc., a small publishing company in Bethesda, Maryland, was an editor at American University's student newspaper, and fulfilled her passion for travel by working at American University's AU Abroad program, helping wanderlust students prepare for their semester abroad. She joined the Traveler team in 2007 as an intern, and was an assistant researcher for one year before taking on her current role as Editorial Business Coordinator in June 2008.
