Katrina Lodge

Travel Journalist

Always keen to wander beyond the tourist trail, Katrina Lodge is a freelance journalist who believes the best discoveries are found in the unexpected. Endlessly curious and chronically overpacked, she delights in the people, cuisine and landscapes that shape a destination. She loves a luxe hotel with a storied past but is equally happy to swap five stars for a canopy of them. Katrina will always say yes to champagne and still refuses to accept that ceramics are the world’s least practical travel souvenir.
