Theresa Dowell Blackinton was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and spent her childhood visiting the state’s attractions with her parents and three brothers. She left Kentucky to attend college at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and has been on the move ever since—living in Freiburg, Germany; Athens, Greece; Washington, DC; and Durham, North Carolina; and spending time in more than 50 countries—but she still considers the Bluegrass State home.

Theresa has written for multiple newspapers and magazines. She provides updated information about Kentucky travel at www.bluegrasstraveler.com.
