Pam Mandel

A California girl by birth, freelance writer Pam Mandel learned about winter from her Austrian husband and now plans her life around when the snow starts to fall. She divides her time between her two homes, one on vibrant Capitol Hill, just minutes from downtown Seattle, and one in the Enns Valley in the shadow of the Austrian Alps. She's published articles about online dating, travel, technology, the arts, and, of course, winter sports - and yes, she does speak German. [email protected] All stories by this author
