Tracy Pattin, Neighbor

<br>As an Adventure expert/participatory journalist I find adventures and stories everywhere I go, then write and speak about them. In my blog, Adventurize Your Life. com and Adventurize Your Life LA, I take you on all kinds of adventures, local and beyond, ( like my exciting Wasabe Mayo discovery at Trader Joe&#39;s, to the Brits in LA Tuesday breakfast, to interviewing Carlos in New York above Ground Zero, who lost his longtime companion on September 11.

A new media expert from way back in 2007, I also write about my high tech escapades like Blob Live, Digital Hollywood Forum and other super geek events.

My story began when I was born...into airline passes.... My father flew for the airlines and as a perk we were able to see the world, as non-rev stand-bys. For decades I  lived to travel, romping across the globe in search of off-the-beaten-track adventures like camping across the Sahara desert, hitchhiking through Wales and riding the trains of Borneo.

Ironically, my most challenging adventure was when I unhandcuffed myself from my longtime hometown of San Francisco, and moved to LA, (a place I always thought I hated, but now love) with no job, no place to live and knowing almost no one. My sub-adventure was subletting furnished apartments around LA via Craigslist (almost unknown in 2002!)  moving every 2 months for 2 years.

That&#39;s when I realized adventures come in all shapes, sizes, packages etc. They don&#39;t have to be travel to exotic locales.

<br>I produced and hosted podcasts and blogged about the voiceover industry (Voicebank.net) interviewing experts and celebrities in the industry from Michael York and Alfred Molina to NPRs Brian Unger and top talent agents like Jeff Jones (VOX USA) and top casting director, Terry Berland. I also produce and hosts web documentaries about people who&#39;ve reinvented their lives.

And I&#39;m ALWAYS looking for my next adventure.
