“A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.”

Jennifer Olson, earned degrees in English and print journalism from the University of New Mexico before setting out to find new adventures—in a new town, with a new job, in a new house, exploring new trails. As the newest addition to Women’s Adventure, she feels like a natural when it comes to gear reviewing. Her work has appeared in New Mexico Magazine, in the "2010 New Mexico Vacation Guide," and on VeloNews.com, but she also served as editor in chief of her alma mater’s art and literary publication, Conceptions Southwest. Playing with magnetic poetry on her refrigerator helped Jennifer develop a philosophy by which she still lives: “If you publish a cliché, go explore real inspiration."
