Bex

This section is called About Me, so I guess I'll have to do the me in a nutshell thing: Name's Becca - although these days I seem to be liking Bex. I write Lonely Planet travel guides covering everywhere from South Africa to Thailand, Tahiti, Australia, Switzerland and even Latvia and Madagascar.Before I started writing for Lonely Planet I backpacked around the world with my friend Lani then started stringing for the Denver Post. If you want really ancient history, I was also a staff reporter - covering everything from homicides to rock star interviews - at the Colorado Springs Gazette and Manassas Journal Messenger. I'm also a Fund for American Studies Institute of Political Journalism (IPJ-98) alum - if you know what that is get in touch! - at Georgetown University. Best summer of my life.I've been engaged to the same guy, Aaron Anderson, for what feels like ages now. That's okay though - the whole planning a wedding thing intimidates the hell out of my after I watched two of my best girls do it (happily though) this year. I think we are now thinking Oct 08 in Santa Fe. Aaron first proposed at the Johannesburg Airport in Jan 06, but we didn't make it official until July 06, when he popped the question again, this time with his grandma's ring while driving from Santa Fe to Boulder. Aaron also writes for Lonely Planet. His first book was the Austria chapter of Western Europe. Our first joint book City Guide to Washington DC hit the shelves in April - it was fun to see our names linked together in the same way one would write them graffiti style on a beach bathroom stall. We've also worked on Thailand and Madagascar - together. You really get to find out if your with the right person when you spend that much time on the road with them... When not on the road, Aaron and I live in Boulder with our bully Duke. I'm always looking to find old friends, or make new ones, so please shoot me an email here.
