Allison has lived a few different lives—had several careers, traveled widely, and had a variety of experiences in her three decades of life. She’s climbed mountains for fun, been flown out into the middle of the wilderness to find her way back to civilization, and hopped in boats with her partner for ten-day paddling trips down rivers in the middle of nowhere with nothing but themselves for survival (and a bottle of whiskey if we’re being honest). If the zombie apocalypse hit anytime soon, Allison’s your gal. These days, she lives a quieter life with her daughter, her dog, her partner, and all his camping gear. She lives in the north Canadian wilderness where the sun barely sets in the summer and winter is nine months long—if she’s lucky.
