Christine is the editor of Westphoria. She ran away from the South (New Orleans) and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area five years ago, so her West IQ is a bit on the inchoate side. For example, she prefers bespoke hotels over camping in the wilderness and is terribly Westphobic of Burning Man, Esalen, group yoga classes, and the Pacific Crest Trail. BUT she rides BART, composts, eats loads of vegetables (and even buys fish in season). Her definition of Westphoria is driving Highway 1, weekend trips to Sonoma Coast and lounging in the garden at Medlock Ames Winery on a sunny Saturday.
