About Taryn
Originally from Long Island, New York, travel writer Taryn Shorr-Mckee has spent her adult life in the Arizona desert and the Missouri Ozarks. That diversity not only shapes Taryn’s work but also perfectly reflects her adventurous spirit and passion for off-the-beaten-path destinations. She feels most at home hiking national parks, floating rivers, on spontaneous road trips, and camping the old-fashioned way, but also appreciates the finer things in life – like a great espresso martini. In addition to Lonely Planet, Taryn’s byline appears in Midwest Living, Matador Network, PHOENIX Magazine, Travel Wyoming, Experience Scottsdale, 417 Magazine, and many others.
