Catherine Forth, Writer and Editor
Catherine has always felt more at home “elsewhere”. The open road has called her to embark on multiple extended round-the-world trips covering 40+ countries and to spend a year or two living under 9 different flags (and counting) on 5 continents. These nomadic ways give her first-hand insight into a dizzying array of destinations, cultures and adventures. She’s written for various travel guide-books, newspapers, magazines and websites throughout the years.
Tessa Riley, Writer
In her younger days, Tessa was a free-spirited budget backpacker exploring the world wherever the wind took her. Nowadays, she has two globally curious children tagging along which puts a different spin on the travel plans and comfort requirements. This gives her a range of perspectives on which to draw from and share with Destination Tips readers.
Peter Simon, Writer
Peter is equally at ease in a Mongolian yurt and a 5-star Caribbean resort. He’s climbed the Inca Trail and cruised the Cote d’Azure. He’s dined on Mexican crickets in Oaxaca and eaten $100 potentially-deadly fugu in Tokyo. Basically, he’s game for anything on the travel spectrum. Destination Tips merges his dual passions of travel and writing, and gives him a good excuse to sample food from around the world, all in the name of research.
