Person
Christina Paulette Colón's great passions in life are nature and travel. She has been everywhere from Borneo where she studied a critter called the civet to Belize where she did her master's thesis in a jaguar preserve. With a Ph.D. in ecology, an MA in environmental education, and a string of publications, she is an academic, an educator, and an author. When not exploring tropical rainforests, coral reefs, or sandy beaches, she can be found exploring the wilder side of New York City, which she calls home. In addition to scientific, educational, and academic works, she has contributed to and authored numerous travel guides, including Frommer's Portable Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao and Frommer's Caribbean.
