Lina Zeldovich

Lina Zeldovich cooked a zebu stew in Madagascar, fished for piranhas in the Amazon, sipped a drink made from a venomous snake in Peru—and always lived to write the story. Along the way, she survived Siberian winter, Jordanian summer and Columbia J-School. Her work appeared in AAA, AARP, BBC, AtlasObscura, Smithsonian, Saturday Evening Post as well as other publications and won several awards including NATJA’s Gold and Silver. She is a culture shock junkie, and she lives in New York so she can fly nonstop to almost anywhere.
