Author: Madeline Grimes

Madeline Grimes is a freelance writer based in New York City. She grew up in the tiny beach community of Ipswich, MA where, as the saying goes, if you don’t know what you’re doing, someone else does. She earned a degree in Sociology and History at the University of Toronto, and worked in pension governance for the two years following graduation. Stricken with a severe case of wanderlust, she has spent the past three years traveling in South America and Asia. Trip highlights include scuba diving with sharks in Thailand, being accused of carrying bombs (errr, tampons) in China, and walking on the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina. When not traveling or planning her next trip, Madeline enjoys cooking, running, and pretending that she lives on a tropical island.
