About Andrea

THE FLYING SALMON'S Andrea Duchon is among the wave of New York City socio-intellectual hipsters* who have transplanted to Seattle in hopes of reclaiming the grunge-scene of yore. She caught the travel bug at a young age where on two separate trips, at ages 10 and 12 respectively, she spent two weeks canoeing the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. There she developed a passion for sustainability and environmental responsibility that she takes with her wherever she goes.

In the fall of 2009, she traveled Europe for 2 months before making the snow-laden, cross-country road trip from the east to west coast.
A relentless dreamer, chaotic organizer, spirited debater and obsessive grammarian, she’s in search of the tourist traps, locals hangouts, day trips and dive bars that make her new caffeine-fueled hometown the best this side of the Mississippi.

*Hipsters: indie rock fanatics, coffee-shop regulars, environmental activists, book clubbers, card carrying members of art museums and dedicated community organizers
