About The Best of the Southwest

Welcome to The Best of the Southwest (BOSW). Founded by long-time journalist, editor, author and illustrator Erin Thorburn, BOSW is an online magazine designed to highlight luxury and unique experiences throughout the Southwest. Throughout her 20-plus-year writing career, Thorburn has had the pleasure of covering some of the Southwest’s most coveted and classic destinations. Living in Arizona for more than a decade, Thorburn discovered that in addition to the wealth of luxury and dynamic resorts, spas, restaurants, shopping and entertainment locales within her home state, many neighboring Southwest states provide a host of sister locations, as well as their own individual, spectacular offerings. Many individuals who live in the Southewst, like Thorburn, have grown to appreciate the region for its rich lifestyle, travel and adventure opportunities. The goal of BOTSW is to invite anyone and everyone seeking to soak up The Best of the Southwest through engaging content. We’re so glad to have you and hope that you find an experience to spur a visit to our beautiful and bountiful Southwest. What does BOSW consider “Southwest?” We try not to split hairs about defining what states truly encompass the Southwest. Broadly, you’ll find that we provide lifestyle coverage for Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Southern California, Texas and Utah — and occasionally, Mexico. And, we reserve the right to publish any remarkable experience that may tip into Southwest neighboring regions.
