Shoshi Parks

Shoshi Parks is a travel, history and food writer in the San Francisco Bay Area. She began her professional career with a Ph.D. in archaeology and anthropology, working on issues of indigenous rights in Latin America. After several years of working and living in Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and Mexico and co-directing the non-profit InHerit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Shoshi left academia to pursue other interests. She turned to freelance writing in 2016 and hasn't looked back. Shoshi's work has appeared at NPR, Atlas Obscura, Smithsonian Magazine, Yes! Magazine, Vice, Roadtrippers, Adventure.com, and other outlets and she is a regular contributor for Time Out San Francisco. When she's not writing, Shoshi can be found training dogs with her small-business Modern Hound, hiking/camping/backpacking, and obsessively reading historical plaques.
