About Paula Maack

I exist to suckle at the sweet nectar-filled blossom of life. As a discerning foodie, seasoned budget traveler, devout hedonist and luxury junkie, I am forever on the quest for the latest divine experience for the least amount of money possible.

I am a southern California native, and currently reside, with my husband Tony, in Silicon Valley. In addition to writing, I am a TV Producer, and Entrepreneur.
