About me
An eager and intrepid world explorer, Leigh Schrom is a published travel writer, with work appearing in publications as such as Parachute, Pink Pangea, and Travel Post Monthly.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Leigh developed her wanderlust at an early age while in Europe. She has visited most of the 50 United States along with much of Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America.
Leaving a successful career in commercial real estate, she now pursues her travel interests through writing and photography. With a background in art history, she focuses on the art, architecture, history, customs, and cultures of each place. To her, travel is a learning experience.
Currently she is based in Bogotá, Colombia, her headquarters as she explores the rest of South America. She writes for Women Touring South America, is a member of Travel Media, The International Travel Writers and Photographers Alliance (ITWPA), and has attended Travel Writers Workshops sponsored by Great Escape Publishing.
A blue-water sailor her whole life, she also appreciates blues and jazz music, gourmet cooking, live theater, football, baseball and finding out-of-the-way places. Always inquisitive, curious, adventurous and eager to learn, she is the perpetual explorer.
She values intelligence, independence, thoughtfulness, and integrity.
