Catherine Best is an award-winning travel journalist, magazine editor and storyteller who has been writing professionally for more than 25 years. She started her career as a news reporter, when journalism seemed like a logical outlet for someone destined to write, but soon discovered there was more beauty and joy in travel writing than being part of the 24/7 news’ cycle. It’s in nature – climbing mountains, scuba diving and camping in the outback – where Catherine finds her greatest inspiration and connection to place. Sharing in her passion for wild places are her three kids and husband, who are her favourite travelling companions. When not off on an adventure, you will find Catherine at home in Melbourne with her three musketeers, consoling the labradoodle, who is too often left behind, and planning the next mods on her family caravan. Catherine’s first book, Ultimate Caravan Trips: Australia, was published by Hardie Grant in 2022. You can follow her adventures on Instagram, @catherine_best_.
