Jackie Sutherlin

Jackie Sutherlin is a travel writer and editor for Only In Your State who specializes in the stories locals love and travelers often miss — from hole-in-the-wall restaurants and scenic hiking trails to haunted history and quirky roadside attractions. She covers the Southeast with a particular focus on charming small towns, outdoor escapes, and historic landmarks. When she's not writing, she's chasing the northern lights in the Arctic and documenting her travels on social media— which means she brings the same adventurous, open-eyed sensibility to every destination she covers.
