Outdoor Recreation – Environment – Health

Writer and photographer Colleen Stinchcombe spent three years as a staff editor before leaving to spend a summer backpacking 1,000 miles along the Pacific Crest and Oregon Coast trails. Afterward, she turned her pen to outdoor recreation, environment, and health writing. She’s contributed to Sierra, Outside, REI, GQ, Lonely Planet, Fodor’s, The Seattle Times, and SELF, among others.

Based in the Seattle, WA area, her domestic travels have taken her from the desert mountains of California to the Badlands of North Dakota. Internationally, she’s backpacked through Vietnam, wandered Welsh valleys, road tripped British Columbia, and has also traveled to England, Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Jamaica, Mexico, and Cambodia. She’s found her way by foot, bike, bus, car, train, ship, and plane with everything from a roller bag to a daypack.

In addition to her editorial work, Colleen uses her writing and editing expertise to work with businesses on copywriting, blogging, ebooks, newsletters, crafting editorial calendars and plotting SEO-fueled content strategy.
