Kris Bordessa -- Oyster Locals Reporter
Kris Bordessa (http://krisbordessa.com) is afraid of heights but launched herself from a 200’ high zipline; held a porcupine despite her aversion to needles; and has selflessly sampled her way through myriad high-calorie meals – all in the name of work. She is the author of several books and writes for publications like Disney’s FamilyFun, Parents, Islands, Christian Science Monitor, and more. You’ll also find her writing about life, culture, and fun in Hawai‘i for less at Honolulu On The Cheap (http://honoluluonthecheap.com) and Big Island On The Cheap (http://bigislandonthecheap.com).
