Francisca Kellett

Writers bio:
Francisca Kellett is a travel journalist and photographer born to three nationalities - no good start to warding off itchy feet. Born in San Francisco, she grew up in Germany and London, but these days prefers travelling to more exotic climes. Her work has taken her from Brazil to Barcelona and from Hamburg to Harare - but she swears that nowhere beats Cape Town. She is the author of the Footprint to Cape Town, and co-author of the Footprint to South Africa.

She has also contributed to a number of other guidebooks, including for Rough Guides, the AA and Fodors. Her articles have appeared in The Daily Telegraph, The Independent on Sunday, The Guardian and The Daily Mail, as well as a number of magazines including Wanderlust and ABTA Travelspirit. She has also had her travel photography published in several guidebooks and magazines. When not travelling, Francisca lives in London thinking up new excuses to go away.
