Nicole Pajer is a freelance writer whose articles have appeared in The New York Times, Parade, AARP, Woman’s Day, Men’s Journal, and elsewhere.
When she’s not writing, she’s checking exotic destinations off her bucket list, attempting to burn off the boundless energy of her 71-pound Doberman, and teaching people how to pronounce her last name correctly (“It’s Beep Beep. Like Beep Beep!”). Keep up with her adventures on Twitter @NicolePajer.
