DONNA DAILEY

Travel Writer and Photographer

Donna Dailey

Donna Dailey writes for national and international newspapers and magazines, and for websites. Her work has won two prestigious travel writing awards. She has also written or contributed to 25 guidebooks for major travel publishers.

Her travels have taken her down the Rio San Juan into Nicaragua’s rain forest, across the Australian Outback, to ancient sites in Jordan and Tunisia, and to the game reserves of Kenya. She has hiked across the Rockies and the desert canyons of the American Southwest, and joined in music sessions in the pubs of Ireland and Scotland. Her appetite for food and drink stories has had her eating buffalo in Denver and billy goat in the Loire Valley, sipping sherry in Spain’s bodegas, and taken her from the gourmet restaurants of Paris to Valencia in search of the perfect paella.

Donna has a Journalism degree from the University of Northern Colorado. She speaks basic Spanish. Before moving to London she worked for US publications and in television. She has been a freelance travel writer and photographer since 1993, and has worked as a Managing Editor for Insight Guides. She is a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers and the Outdoor Writers’ Guild.
