Aislyn Greene
Podcast Director, Afar
Aislyn Greene’s wanderlust struck at age eight when her aunt returned from Paris with a gift: a poster of the Seine at night. (The tattered remnants live in a trunk with her Snoopy watch and Brownie badges.) Since then, she’s traveled wherever and whenever possible.
Greene has lived in France, hiked the wilds of Patagonia, and sailed to the bottom of the world (Antarctica). Prior to her current role, she was the Northwest travel editor at Sunset magazine. At Afar, she produces three shows, including Travel Tales by Afar and Unpacked by Afar. She lives on a houseboat in Sausalito with her wife and one grumpy cat.
