About the author

Erin Donaldson is an American writer, cultural correspondent and longtime expat who has lived in Colombia since 2013. Her work explores travel, culture, relationships, identity and the realities of building a life abroad. After nearly 14 years in Colombia, she is now spending time traveling through Mexico and writing from the perspective of someone who has lived long enough outside the United States to question many of the assumptions she once took for granted. Through Open Minded Traveler, Erin writes candidly about dating, alternative relationship structures, sexuality, cultural differences and the ways travel can challenge conventional ideas about how people are supposed to live and connect.
