About Author Emily Watson

Emily, a native Portlander, grew up skiing on Mt. Hood, playing at the Oregon coast, and shooing bugs into her brother's tent during plenty o' family camping trips.After college she moved to New York City, where someone hired her to be a magazine editor. Five years later, however, the lure of the Northwest was just too strong so she returned to Portland "to be a ski bum." Today she is the editor of Travel Oregon magazine and co-editor of the monthly Travel Oregon e-newsletter, among other travel- and food-related publishing projects. And, yes, she's still skiing - though the bum thing is a bit of a stretch.
