Abigail Bassett

Abigail Bassett is a former CNN journalist whose fascination with fitness, travel, and the quantified self began when she bought her first heart rate monitor in college and wanted to see how high she could get it to go. She spent many years covering everything from wars and natural disasters to fast cars and luxury goods, all over the world for major media outlets. She’s a beginning yogi and adventurer and she lives in Austin, Texas, with a house full of animals and old cars in need of work.
