Jennifer Dellapina

Originally from just outside of Pittsburgh, Jennifer Dellapina graduated from University of Kentucky and Emory University before working in advertising in New York City, where she learned to love the city on her daily walk from Hell’s Kitchen to Tribeca.  She’s spent the last 12 years in Marina del Rey.

She’d rather take the layover just to get more miles and is always looking for a great travel deal—to date her best is $19/night at the Paraiso de la Bonita (normal rate is around $900/night). When she’s not off enjoying her latest travel steal, she’s blogging about all that Marina del Rey and Los Angeles have to offer.
