Marianne Bohr

Marianne C. Bohr is a published author and award-winning essayist with a lifelong weakness for faraway places. A former travel blogger for The Huffington Post, she married her high school sweetheart—now her favorite travel partner—and they have been hitting the road together ever since. Her first book, Gap Year Girl: A Baby Boomer Adventure Across 21 Countries, grew out of a yearlong sabbatical she and her husband spent wandering across Europe. Her second, The Twenty: One Woman’s Trek Across Corsica on the GR20 Trail, chronicles hiking across Europe’s toughest footpath. After years in publishing and teaching middle school French, Marianne now lives in Park City, Utah, with her ski-instructor husband, where she skis, hikes, and writes—sometimes all in the same day.
