Hillary Richard is an award-winning writer, speaker, editor, and photographer. While she covers a broad range of topics (mostly in travel, wildlife, wellness, and lifestyle), she specializes in unearthing the quirkier aspects of life. Her most received comment on articles: “Finally, something enjoyable in the news.” Most recently, she has broken stories on ancient civilizations of women and underground societies and unusual (but practical) wellness practices, earning global attention and spurring dozens of copycat articles.
As a modern-day professional explorer, Hillary has gone on wild adventures across all seven continents. She has sailed through the Arctic and Antarctic Circle, rounded up buffalo, climbed volcanoes and mountains, surfed, camped, scaled ice walls, kayaked with 60,000 whales, road-tripped through Africa, assisted vets treating Asian elephants, and dug for dinosaur fossils.
She has interviewed and photographed witches, governors, presidential hopefuls, environmental pioneers, artists, wrongly convicted murderers, athletes, celebrities, cowboys, artists, famous bartenders, elderly motorcycle enthusiasts, beekeepers, neuroscientists, designers, CEOs, runway models, social outliers, and of course, completely normal people.
Hillary has visited over 60 countries and most of the United States. Her incredibly handsome Scottish Terrier Watson has traveled with her to 15 US states. (He loves a fancy hotel lobby.)
