Blogger Profile: K.C. Summers
Travel Editor K.C. Summers hates festivals, hot-air balloons, camping and casinos, but she's never met a sidewalk cafe, offbeat museum or post-theater bistro she didn't like.

Contributing writer Andrea Sachs has gone diving with sharks and SpongeBob SquarePants and still can't decide which was scarier. Also known as Turbo Girl, she will go-go-go until she is stopped at the border by a gun-wielding guard (Thailand-Burma) or needs to do a load of laundry....
