Lottie Gross is an award-winning travel writer and editor from south Oxfordshire, England. She has lived on the south coast, spent a decade in London, and has traveled all over the world updating guidebooks in India and reporting on community projects in Uganda. She’s happiest, though, romping around the footpaths where she grew up near the River Thames in England.

Her work has appeared in British, American, and Asian publications including The Daily Telegraph, The Times, AFAR, National Geographic Traveller, World Travel Magazine, HELLO!, and woman&home.
