Travel Bio 

Kathryn Brockman started her career in journalism as a syndication photojournalist selling travel feature ideas to editors and then as an editor buying stories and managing freelancers. She has worked as a columnist, assignment editor, copy editor, calendar editor and news makeup editor. 

Her features and photography have been internationally syndicated and published in several languages. Her credits include the Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Examiner, San Jose Mercury News, The Sunday Times, Toronto Globe and Mail, several trade, specialty and airlines publications, and travel websites.

Kathryn has travelled by ferryboat, camel, elephant, cruise ship, train, small aircraft, right-drive automobile, bicycle, foot, cargo truck, motorcycle and more. Positively committed to the rewards of travel, she has journeyed 
solo—and with a challenging group of 450 people of various weights, heights, ages, religions, nationalities and food preferences. 

Multilingual, Kathryn has visited all seven continents, studied in four, and lived and worked in eight. She successfully identified destinations before they became popular and survived a four-month, worldwide cruise to 32 countries, sharing a closet-size cabin with a winemaker/bellydancer and former nun. 

She has bunked down in a treehouse, teepee, lava tube, mountain shelter, vineyard barn, motel rental RV, African safari tent, yurt, small boat (on a stormy sea), historic railroad station (complete with dancing fleas), thatch hut, monastery and Japanese love hotel (inadvertently but that’s another story).

Her “Travel $mart” seminars shared ways to become a Sherlock Holmes of travel bargains packed with value. She also wrote promotional copy for TV broadcast, identifying travel suppliers, obtaining product agreements and creating travel theme packages (e.g., backpack and a trip to Tibet). 

Kathryn is a credited contributing writer for a historical book and some of her travel experiences have been recounted in fiction and non-fiction books. She was also a three-time runner-up for cash awards for travel writing.

When Kathryn is not on the road, in the air or under the sea, you’ll find her reading travel books and magazines, planning her next coverage.
