Inspiring Travel Writing from Patricia Gajo
Patricia Gajo was an international flight attendant for ten years before she realized it is way more fun to watch movies on the plane than serve chicken or beef. After a short stint deciphering face creams as Assistant Beauty Editor at Wish, a national consumer ladies' magazine, Patricia, rather coincidentally, scored a choice job at enRoute, the in-flight publication for the same airline that had previously employed her.
There she worked as Jet Set Editor, a fancy title for covering all the good things in life, food, drinks, fashion, celebs, travel, etc. Eventually she moved onto Living and Special Projects Director at Loulou - until the travel bug bit again. Patricia is now a full-time freelancer. She has been published in the Globe & Mail, National Post, Nuvo, House & Home, Up! for West Jet, Western Living and Zoom Zoom for Mazda. She is based in Montreal where she is a regular contributor to Fashion and Senior Editor of Adventura magazine.
Patricia is currently busy writing a book called A Hedonist's Guide to Montreal.
