Tiffany Swift

Tiffany Swift is a sometimes writer based in Los Angeles. She enjoys excessive trips to the library, trying to be an urban gardener, and playing outside with her camera. She also has a pretty serious people-watching habit, which she blames on her anthropology degree and stints in brand strategy. Read about her LA & elsewhere explorations at www.wander-fest.com.
