Jenn Ostrowski is a traveler, writer and photographer from the bowels of Florida, living somewhere between the small intestine and Miami. She has tromped around the Eastern United States and Canada, often with carsick family members in tow, and has dwelled in Florida long enough to appreciate its pros and tolerate its cons. When she’s not traveling or abusing her keyboard, she’s busy teaching English as a second language and forgiving—but never forgetting—the worst places to eat. Her articles have appeared on Suite101and in History Magazine.
