Megan Edwards is founder, editor,
designer, writer, and book reviewer for RoadTrip America®.
She is the author of Roads from the
Ashes, the story of RoadTrip America's evolution from its
beginning in a California wildfire. Megan has always been "an idea
person." Not all of her ideas are practical or achievable, but
many aren't bad, like the idea to put RoadTrip America on the Web back
in February, 1996.
An "Army brat," Megan spent her childhood
on the move, which is probably why she has a terminal case of wanderlust.
She holds a B.A. from Scripps College in classics and an M.A. from
Claremont Graduate University. During her fifteen-year career as a
teacher and school principal, she lived and worked in Germany, Greece,
California, Texas, and Nevada. Currently, Megan spends most of her
time in Las Vegas, where, in addition to her work for RoadTrip America,
she writes novels and publishes Living
Las Vegas, her observations and discoveries about life
in the fastest-growing boomtown in America.
While she never took a road trip she didn't like,
Megan is particularly fond of hitting the road solo every once in
a while. "It's a great way to get fresh perspectives, and it
always gives my confidence and creativity a huge boost," she
says. "If you're feeling stuck, start driving!"
