As cool as it sounds, she recently realized she’s probably gotten just about as much mileage as she can from producing a major music festival in Los Angeles, featuring Snoop Dogg and Maluma. From now on, she’ll have to settle for making friends jealous with a near-constant stream of Insta-worthy travel pics.Marcia DeSanctis is a Contributing Editor at Travel + Leisure, and writes essays and stories for Air Mail, Vogue, Town & Country, BBC Travel, Lit Hub, Lonely Planet, Roads & Kingdoms and many other publications.

This is her seventh time in the Best Women’s Travel Writing anthology.To celebrate her thirtieth birthday, Marta Hanson quit her job, packed up her apartment, and bought a one-way plane ticket to Argentina to study tango.

When she’s not traveling or dancing, Marta leads programs and partnerships to promote civic engagement for healthy communities and a strong democracy, currently at the Oregon Department of Justice and previously at the Stanford Women’s Community Center, among others. She holds a BA from Stanford and an MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and lives in the Pacific Northwest with her partner and their orange cat.Theresa Lin received her MFA in Fiction from Columbia University, where she was awarded the De Alba Fellowship and an Undergraduate Writing Program teaching fellowship.
