Alicia Valenski is an American writer, editor, and speaker, as well as the author of The LGBTQ+ Travel Guide with Lonely Planet.
With a journalism degree from Penn State, Alicia cut her teeth as a writer and editor at the Charlotte Observer before moving into the role of senior editor at theSkimm. Now, she’s navigating life in the Netherlands with her partner, their dog, and a GPS that’s forever confused by the country's endless bike paths.
Alicia writes about the ups, downs, and sideways adventures of being a bisexual, neurodivergent expat, all with a generous dose of honesty, humor, and heart.
