Stefanie attended the University of San Diego from 1993-1997, graduating on the Dean's List and High Honors with a Bachelor in Arts and Sciences. Her major was History with an emphasis on World War II, with a minor in both French and International Relations. In 1995, she had the opportunity to study in the South of France, in Aix-en-Provence, in a Study Abroad Program, where she was able to immerse herself in the culture, food, art and language. From here, a passion for travel and lifestyle became her drive for writing.
Stefanie writes about her 5-Star adventures with her little entourage.

Stefanie has successfully implemented Facebook posts for several paid campaigns as well as personal promotion for the last 6 years. Part of social media strategy is the ability to create content then identify which topics would work well within social media promotion. Also knowing which medium to use to gain the most attention of the audience is a key element when deciding on content, image or video.
Stefanie has worked with numerous companies on Twitter campaigns, participated in brand Twitter parties, and conversations. She has also done Twitter Take-Overs for brands, as well as hosted Twitter events (Tweet-ups, Twitter Party moderator). In addition to her knowledge of Facebook and Twitter, she also successfully manages her own Instagram account and has done various projects and brand campaigns on Instagram. Timing with promotion is key when working in real time social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.
For the past 6 years, Stefanie has published her stories on her personal blog, as well as contributed to many nationally recognized websites on topics in lifestyle, travel, family, fitness, and health. All images are taken and edited by Stefanie, unless otherwise noted.
