Julia Schwarz

Julia Schwarz is a freelance writer addicted to travel, efficiency, pop culture, and people watching. She has chased celebrities in London, escorted political authors around New York and DC, watched the financial crisis from a front row seat in Charlotte, N.C., and recently succumbed to the call of Tex-Mex and heatstroke emanating from her hometown. Her work has appeared in publications across the country, including a stint at Spirit, Southwest Airlines's in-flight magazine, that got her hooked on travel writing.
