A Massachusetts native, Abby Sandman was on skis before she could walk, and this early tendency towards adventure has carried her from the canyons of Peru to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. She is an associate editor for Indagare Travel, where she writes for the company’s tri-annual magazine and website—but after work, the writing doesn’t stop. She graduated summa cum laude with a degree in English and Psychology from Lafayette College, where she was awarded a prize for her thesis exploring trauma, prejudice, and inequality through a 90,000-word novel.
