About Irina
I am an editor and freelance writer based in Colorado. I'm also the creator of the Pandemic Mama podcast and newsletter. My work has appeared in over 50 publications, including Lonely Planet, Thrillist, and more. My family immigrated from Russia in Cuba when I was a child, so I'd like to say the travel bug bit me early!
I've traveled all over Europe and South America, and lived all across the U.S. These days, you can find me exploring my colorful state with my husband and spunky toddler.
