Jessica Bowen

Jessica is a Seattle-born writer currently living in and exploring Salt Lake City. She loves to spend as much time as possible outside, which means taking it slow (usually lagging far behind speedier nature-loving friends) and savoring the sights, sounds, and smells of the great outdoors whenever she's running, hiking, rock climbing, or taking walks on her adventures all around the world.
