Personal page for Sami Holloway

Sami grew up in a family of travelers-- being a fifth-generation military brat will do that-- and has lived in various US states, as well as in Turkey, Italy, Japan and Scotland. These are moderately exotic locales to grow up in, and the experience instilled her with a love of travel and of knowing the world first-hand, which she does as often as she can. Her ultimate goal is to move back overseas, preferably to Scotland, and to summer in a new country every year to see it all.

Sami is a writer and editor, and lives in St Augustine, Florida, the Oldest City in America.
