Lori Blackburn may appear American, but her heart is Filipino. This Filipino-American grew-up amongst the surfer culture of Redondo Beach, California, but calls Bangkok, Thailand home. Lori spent three years living in the Philippines where she wrote for top travel and lifestyle magazines. She is grateful to have experienced the Philippines before and after its explosion into mainstream tourism. When not traveling or writing, you can find Lori reading. She is the Children’s Program Coordinator for the Neilson Hays Library in Bangkok. She loves sharing 'the magic of books' with new generations.
