Susan Moynihan

 

Susan spent her teenage years in Annapolis, when her parents settled here post-Navy career. After graduating from the University of Maryland, she set her sights on New York City, equally entranced by magazines and rock and roll. A chance story assignment to the Caribbean while working at Woman’s Day led her to discovery of travel writing. She spent the next 15 years as a travel editor for Conde Nast and Bonnier Corp., exploring the world from home bases in NYC and Florida before coming home to Annapolis. She writes about travel, food and lifestyle for regional and national outlets, and her book, 100 Things to Do in Annapolis/Eastern Shore Before You Die (Reedy Press), was published in 2019. When she’s not road-tripping around the Bay, Susan is playing her ukulele, volunteering with Annapolis Green, and trying to teach her dog not to be afraid of docks.
