Freelance writer

About Me

My background

With a background in academic writing as a Clinical Counsellor, I moved into the travel writing world a few years ago and haven't looked back!  Now based out of British Columbia, in the past my wanderlust has relocated me to Japan and Mexico (great foodie countries, you’ll note!). I am a regular contributor to travel publications like Trivago, Travelocity, Soar, Dreamscapes, CanadianTraveller, Explore, vacay.ca,  Inspired Senior Living, Shape (travel section) and Active Life.

My writing interests

I have a passion for active travel, and my writing interests include adventure travel, food & drink, spas, health & wellness, fitness getaways, responsible tourism, and off the beaten path adventures—the more epic, the better.

I am based in British Columbia, Canada.  Here are my contact details:

Testimonials

Every editor who works with freelance journalists has a handful of ‘go-to’ writers – those they know they can count on to accept assignments, write clean, interesting copy and meet deadlines. For me, Kate is one of those writers. In the four years we’ve worked together, she has never disappointed. Her writing is thoughtful and descriptive, and her assignments are usually submitted ahead of schedule. Kate conducts herself professionally and pursues her craft with passion. I would recommend her writing services without hesitation.
