Liza Prado
City Expert
Liza Prado was working as a corporate attorney in San Francisco when she decided to take a leap of faith and try travel writing and photography. Six years later, she has co-authored eight guidebooks and written various feature stories and travel blogs to destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean; her photographs have been published in books by Lonely Planet, Moon Handbooks, and several travel websites. One of her favorite assignments was authoring Lonely Planet's Dominican Republic guidebook, during which she spent several months honing her merengue moves, checking out the beaches, and learning the subtleties of the perfect curve ball.
A graduate of Brown University and Stanford Law School, Liza has traveled extensively throughout the Americas and Europe. She speaks Spanish fluently, Italian and French decently, and can order a catfish dinner in Portuguese. She currently lives in Oakland, California with her husband and frequent co-author Gary Chandler and their daughter Eva Quetzal.
