Nicole Pajer is a freelance writer published in The New York Times, Parade, AARP, Woman's Day, Wired, and Entrepreneur, among others. When she’s not writing, Pajer keeps busy by checking exotic travel destinations off her bucket list, attempting to wear out her 71-pound Doberman’s boundless energy, and teaching people how to properly pronounce her last name (It’s ‘Pager,’ just like the beeper guys!). Keep up with her adventures on Twitter @NicolePajer.
