Keri Bridgwater Originally from Cornwall, England, Keri lived and worked in Sweden and New Zealand for several years before finding my way to the United States in 2006 – first to Telluride, Colorado, and then Encinitas, California in 2009. Favorite adventures from the almost 50 countries she have visited include learning to dive in Dahab, Egypt and a two-night felucca trip along The Nile, crossing the Salar de Uyuni from Bolivia to Chile in a Toyota Land Cruiser, trekking to Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal, riding horses on Easter Island, a two-month backpacking surf trip along Mexico's Pacific Coast, and snowboarding in Hokkaido, Japan. When not on the road, you'll find Keri at the beach, in the high desert, hanging with friends in San Diego, or with her boyfriend and our two cats at our house in Bay Park.
