A native of Chicago, Madonna Walsh is a writer and communications specialist with more than 20 years of experience. Having lived in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., travel is a way of life to her. Travelling well is a passion.

Oh – and she’s a bit of an aerospace buff as well. She worked for one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers on their space and defence programmes (think C-17s, Chinooks, V-22s – and the Space Shuttle). She likes seats over the center wing box, hates single aisle planes for overseas flights and prefers the upper deck of a 747 above all else.
