About Erika

Erika Wiggins is a freelance writer, blogger, and photographer specializing in travel, aviation, nature, and adventure sports.  Raised by nomadic parents, she sailed the South Pacific and Caribbean as a child.   She earned her pilot’s license before learning to drive, and now is a flight instructor with a degree in Aeronautical Science.

As an adult, she has hiked, backpacked, rappelled, and caved extensively across the US and abroad and loves to sample the beer and cuisine of each new destination.   Central Florida events and activities are frequent subjects of her writing reflecting a love of her (current) hometown. She ties conservation concerns into her writing, a natural extension of her passion for the environment she spends so much time exploring.

Erika embraces social media; you can follow her on Twitter as @Active_Explorer, and on Facebook.  She jokes that she “lives out loud” publicizing her travel and adventures every step of the way.
