About Marybeth, National Geographic Author, Writer
Curious Explorer. Award-winning author.
Polar bear tracking and snorkeling with beluga whales in the northern Canadian Arctic.
Marybeth knows travel. She has hiked, biked, dived, danced and trekked across all seven continents – from the depths of the Flores Sea near Komodo Island to the summit of Kilimanjaro.
More recently, she tracked polar bears and snorkeled with beluga whales in the Canadian Arctic, then kayaked among icebergs in Antarctica.
Somewhere in between, four years of studying in Paris earned her two degrees – and a taste for good wine and strong cheeses.
Twelve books (three with National Geographic), countless travel articles, and numerous TV and radio appearances have built her devoted fanbase. She won the esteemed Lowell Thomas, Gold Award for the Best Travel Book of the Year from the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation.
