About Jessica Skelton

Jessica, or "Skely" as she’s known around the office, had her first taste of adventure at the age of two, when her father put her on a child leash and took her hiking at Point Lobos in Monterey, California. Well, the leash eventually came off, but her love for exploring never ceased. Her adventures include scuba diving with manta rays, rock climbing and rappelling off 150-foot cliffs, and solo camping in Utah at the age of 14. Prior to Room 77, Jessica worked as a content producer for TravelMuse, an online travel-planning site, and as an editor at Your Music Magazine. When she’s not blogging for Room 77, you’ll find her reading a good book or spiraling further into the depths of her 30 Rock addiction.
