What is “Odyssa”?
The original traveler, explorer, and man about town, Odysseus of Odyssey fame has been a central character in my personal pantheon of travelers. Being that this is my magazine, the feminized version, Odyssa, is fitting, reimagining how we travel, explore, and interact with those we encounter.
This magazine focuses on travel storytelling. Readers of Odyssa Magazine like smart writing, good ideas, interesting books, and, above all, amazing trips, immersing themselves in other places, cultures, and ways of life, especially if they have anything to do with the water.
Adria, Editor-in-Chief
I was born with wanderlust in my soul, fostered by a nomadic childhood. I decided to move my own family to the UK in 2013, and my husband, three children, and I spent three years exploring as many corners of its four nations as possible, as well as crisscrossing Europe by boat, plane, train, and automobile. Now back on home soil, I travel, and write about travel, as much as possible to recapture the spirit of adventure I experienced as an expat.
As a traveler, I especially love to visit anywhere coastal–put me in sight of the sea and I’m content. I enjoy a five-star hotel experience as much as the next girl, and I have wallowed in the warm cocoon of an all-inclusive beach holiday, but my best traveling memories involve a tent on a riverbank in a 105 degree Dordogne afternoon, a rose festival in a speck of a village in Western Ireland, and a bamboo house during a raging storm in the jungly mountains of Colombia.
I have spent my professional years as an academic, working as a lecturer in writing (and, I always like to mention its corollary, thinking), an editor and writer, and a travel advisor. You can see some of my work at The Huffington Post and Ciao Bambino!, a Lowell Thomas Award-winning family travel writing website. This aspect of my life gives me a unique perspective on the places I travel, making me a better reader of the places I go.
