About the Author

Liz Hamill Scott

Liz Hamill Scott was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After getting her English degree at local institution Stanford University, she pursued her love of dining and travel throughout the golden state and beyond. Her exploits included everything from whitewater rafting on the Kaweah River to dining at the French Laundry. When a battle with chronic pain put an end to her rafting and camping trips, Liz discovered wine tasting and spa resorts. To this day, she’s not sure which style of vacation she likes better.

Liz is the author of Moon California, which gave her the chance to fall in love with her home state all over again. In 2008, she made the terrifying leap from overpaid high-tech employee to almost broke full-time freelance travel and food writer. You can read about her adventures in national magazines, Bay Area newspapers, and on the web at www.liz-scott.com.

Liz lives and writes in San Jose, CA.
