With hungry travels from coast to coast, endless daydreams of mountain powder and childhood memories of northwoods camping, Amanda Ciesielczyk is always searching for her next adventure and story. As a writer and communications strategist, she is inspired by the works of Jack London and Bill Bryson and attracted to the rhythm between art and science.
