About Marissa Parkin

"I first got the travel bug when I convinced my mom to let me swap a sweltering Illinois summer for a chilly winter in Tasmania living with a local family for three months when I was 15. Since then I've never looked back and have been lucky enough to live and travel all over the world. While I love far-flung and exotic destinations, these days I'm focusing on showing my young daughters their heritage (they are lucky enough to hold three passports each) and checking out destinations closer to home - exploring the UK and introducing them to the delights of France and Italy. "
