This month’s issue of Sky is dedicated to Los Angeles, my hometown. In the magazine you’ll find tons of information on fabulous places to stay, eat and shop. But, another big reason why the city is such a fantastic place to live: the green spaces. Sure, there are the beautiful beaches—lots of them, but what many people forget is the amazing array of wilderness that’s available within city boundaries.

You’ll be hearing a lot this month about We Bought a Zoo, a film based on the true story of a family restoring a dilapidated zoo. The film stars Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson, but one of the main reasons it has cinephiles salivating is it marks the return of writer/director Cameron Crowe to the big screen after a six-year absence.

About Sarah Elbert
As executive editor of Delta Sky, Sarah Elbert lassos the best writers she can find to cover the world—as well as contributing some prose of her own. Before coming to Sky, Sarah was editorial director of magazines including Northwest WorldTraveler and Carlson Wagonlit Travel's Postcards. She has been a newspaper editor, a freelance writer and an Associated Press reporter, riding with the White House travel pool (back in the Clinton days) and covering everything from natural disasters to a cat kidney transplant. Sarah has written for The New York Times, the New York Post, the New York Sun—but not the NY Daily News. She now lives in Minneapolis, which she finds lovely and underrated, but does occasionally miss Manhattan and the Staten Island Ferry. Sarah would like to think she could again go backpacking across Europe, and she still loves to travel, but she knows that train has left the station. It's just so much quicker to fly.
About Deborah Caulfield Rybak
Senior editor Deborah Caulfield Rybak interviewed the Who’s Who of Hollywood during her years as an entertainment industry reporter at the Los Angeles Times. She still prefers writing about the arts to almost any other journalistic activity, so it’s a good thing we’ve got her on that beat at Sky. She’s pocketed numerous journalism awards and co-written three books.
But that’s just her journalistic cred: she’s also worked as an FM deejay in Aspen, a speechwriter in Washington and an environmental film festival director in Colorado. She considers herself happiest when she’s out of town—and out of cellphone range. She’s hitchhiked across Kenya, spent the night atop a pyramid in Central America, hovered face-to-mandible with giant manta rays during a night dive in Hawaii and hiked the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. Still left on her to do list: Bhutan and marlin fishing.
About Liz Doyle
After a few years navigating the trenches of New York's fashion scene as a stylist assistant at Harpers Bazaar, associate editor Liz Doyle is excited to be back in her childhood hometown of Minneapolis. When she isn't scouting the latest trends in fashion and travel, she moonlights at a local Parisian brasserie where she says "welcome" and "enjoy" a lot and occasionally tries to improve her French. Though her foray to the editorial side of the magazine industry is a new one, she welcomes the challenge and can't wait to see what this new adventure holds.
About Amanda Hoffstrom
Associate online editor Amanda Hoffstrom maintains the web and social media presence of Delta Sky. She enjoys using new media and exploring how different platforms enhance the reader experience.

Future trips include St. Lucia, Seattle, Vancouver, London and New York. When she’s not in the office, she's a pop culture junkie, soaking up as many movies, television shows and magazines as possible.
