RESEARCHERS

Rosie Leutzinger

Rosie’s love of travel was ingrained at an early age, thanks to vacations to visit her British mother’s family. Opportunities to play softball for Great Britain’s national team, and professionally in Austria and Japan, turned that love of travel into an obsession. An editor at Rick Steves’ Europe, she spends her time in the Puget Sound region trying all the hikes and baked goods time and appetite will allow.

Jessica Shaw

Jessica lived in France for four years as a child, traveling around Europe with her family’s trusty Rick Steves guidebooks. Today, she works as an editor and guidebook researcher for the very books that inspired her love of travel. A native Seattleite, she lives with her husband in her favorite place of all—the Pacific Northwest.
