Allison Ramirez
Atlanta Contributor
Allison is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in publications like Travel + Leisure, Vice, Marie Claire, Refinery 29, Thrillist, The Daily Beast, and others. Based in Atlanta (with frequent stops in Miami and Minneapolis right now), she writes about food, travel, art, and culture, often highlighting the South’s dynamic and diverse voices. After living in Los Angeles for many years (and always an Angeleno at heart), Allison carries a curiosity about life and a love for nature — whether it’s waterfall hikes, time by the ocean, or road trips to small towns like Los Alamos. When she’s not writing, she’s likely discovering a new restaurant, taking a dance class, or scoping out which coffee shops also serve wine.
