As Co-Editor of The Spain Scoop, Nancy has also written for Lonely Planet Magazine, Metropolitan Magazine,Barcelona Connect, Ceramics Art and Technical, and on line travel sites. Her first writing attempt was a play written in fourth grade: “Balls Under The Christmas Tree.” Performed in the family dining room, Daisy the Cat, gave it two yawns.
The thrill of riding a camel in the Sahara under a full moon, caving in Belize, and swing dancing on a quay on the Seine, pales to everyday life in Barcelona and Toulouse. Nancy now splits her time between the two cities.
In the U.S., Nancy owned a management consulting business for fourteen years.She designed products for the gift industry, had a pottery studio, and adores her family. Nancy has not broken her addiction to the perfect Spanish dinner: a glass of white wine and hot patatas bravas. Nor does she plan to any time soon.
Regina Winkle-Bryan
Regina Winkle-Bryan in Spain!
For the last six+ years, Regina has been learning that Spain is more than bulls and flamenco. Did you know they have five national languages in Spain? Five! Or that Llivia is a small Spanish village inserted in France? Yep. These small peculiarities have been the driving force behind her non-stop travel across the Iberian Peninsula and all its sweet little Islands. Spain; it’s different.
Regina both writes to travel and travels to write, and has contributed to Afar, Adbusters, Spa, Islands, Transitions Abroad, Shareable.net,and many other publications. She blogs at Uptake, Eurocheapo and Travel Hoppers. See her website here: http://regwb.com/
