An international traveler who has lived in the Bay Area, Barcelona, Los Angeles and most recently London, Heidi can often be found frequenting restaurants with a focus on local, sustainable cuisine, unearthing vintage gems at markets the world over, and seeking out chic finds for ecofabulous at every opportunity. Heidi's writing has also appeared in The San Francisco Bay Guardian, SOMA Magazine, and Condé Nast Digital outlets Jaunted and HotelChatter.
