Shannon Petrie

Shannon is a managing editor for TravelChannel.com and HGTV.com whose ideal vacation features at least two of the following: delicious food, outdoor adventure and rollercoasters (the taller and faster, the better). Her most memorable travel experiences (so far!) include trekking a glacier in Alaska and riding in the back of a truck through a herd of stampeding bison in South Dakota. When she’s back home in Tennessee, she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading and playing with her two rescue dogs.
