Inspiring Travel Writing from Catherine Fairweather

With Greek, Russian and Anglo-Irish parentage Catherine Fairweather was a diplobrat who grew up around the world through two revolutions (Laos and Angola), in 13 schools and two universities. She recently returned to Notting Hill from Rome where she worked as a broadcaster at the Vatican. She now writes and is travel editor for Harpers and Queen, for whom she still travels the globe. She loves European cities, shopping in local markets, walking, African music, mozzarella in Naples, wild remote places, ruined churches, scuba diving and gorillas. She likes to get the measure of a new city or place through the quality of its bread and the massage (the best being in Kerala and the worst in Moscow) and returns every summer to Greece (the family summer-house) and Italy (Rome and the South).
