Monica Prelle quit writing at the age of seven when her oldest sister squashed her dreams of becoming a poet. It was then she decided she would become a zoologist specializing in pandas. That didn’t work out either.
She eventually earned a degree in Journalism from the University of Southern California.
A freelance writer and outdoors adventurer, Monica lives with her husband and dog in California’s Eastern Sierra.
Monica writes about Camping for About.com, a New York Times Company. Her outdoors, travel and wine articles have been published in magazines, newspapers, and online publications.
Although Monica never became a poet or a zoologist, at least she can say she’s a professional camper. Monica loves snow, surf, single track, fishing with a fly rod, high-fives and ice cream.
