Cathy Donaldson

Travel Journalist

Curiosity has always been my compass.

Since my first assignment as a newspaper reporter in 1988 and my first travel feature a decade later, curiosity has shaped every chapter of my journalism career. It continues to guide my work today.

I approach every destination through a journalist's lens, looking beyond the obvious, asking thoughtful questions, uncovering unique angles and taking time to understand the people, history and personality of a place.

Through words and images, I tell stories that inform, inspire curiosity and encourage others to explore something new.

My stories have appeared in Lonely Planet, The Toronto Star, JourneyWoman, ExploreSaltscapes, and many other publications. I'm also proud to be a member of the Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC).
