Joannaline C. Young joins another MatadorU alum, Abbie Mood, as a PlanetEye expert.

We keep getting good news from our MatadorU graduates.

Joannaline Young of Los Angeles, California, recently informed the Matador team that she has been hired by online travel guide Planet Eye as their Los Angeles Local Expert. This paid travel writing gig involves sharing local insights with readers who are interested in planning a trip to Los Angeles.

Joannaline will be blogging at least three times a week about activities and eats in her favorite city.

And don’t expect the boring same-old, same-old sights: so far, Joannaline has covered LA’s Tattoo Expo and her favorite ice cream shop, Scoops. Caramel bacon ice cream, anyone?

Want to pick Joanna’s brain about LA sights? Check out her Local Expert profile on Planet Eye.
