Seeker of the sweet spot, Wendy Speicher has spent the past two decades helping others find their Zen with her upbeat, informative travel and entertainment guides. As a former editor and travel and entertainment writer for a number of newspapers and magazines (including Tahoe.com, The Tahoe World, Paddler Magazine, Lincoln News Messenger, Tahoe Weekly, and North Lake Tahoe Bonanza), Wendy earned her chops helping connect people with the aspects of the “good life.” In 2010 she authored her first book, Day & Section Hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail Northern California, which helps people explore the PCT in bite-size chunks. When she isn’t writing about the things she loves, you’ll most likely find Wendy teaching Taboga—a blend of High Intensity Interval Training and Yoga; or spending time with her husband, Greg, and their young son, Archer.
