J “Kat” Loren is crazi about living life to the fullest. An award winning journalist, a global wanderer, travel journalist, and author, she graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Editorial Journalism and from Seattle Pacific University with a M.S.

Who has she written for?

I have been a regular contributor for NW Travel Magazine and Living Better 50 Magazine (before it was sold and no longer pays freelancers). Many of the articles on this site have been published in those magazines – print and digital versions. I have also written without bylines for product review sites, airline magazines and regional DMO’s. Links are available upon request.

A Canon  with a variety of lens, lapel mic for interviews, mostly natural lighting, a GoPro Hero, and post-processing on a MacBook Air laptop in Lightroom, Photoshop, Go Pro Studio, iMovie, and other video programs. Recently purchased Mavic 3 drone. All very prêt à partir.

Where does she live?

A native of Southern California, when she was a youth, she now divides her time between the Pacific NW and Florida.

She loves something about everyplace she’s been: pearling around Moorea;  basking in Byron Bay, AU; diving with sharks in Fiji and the Bahamas; lounging in a spa in Europe; sailing with Aussies in Vanautu; wine tasting in Italy, Germany, California or France; should I continue?
