Susan Stellin, author of How to Travel Practically
Anywhere, has been a regular contributor to The New York
Times for the past four years, primarily writing articles that
offer advice about planning and booking a trip. She also
covers news about the travel industry, features about travel
trends, and topics of interest to business travelers. Through
the company’s news service, Susan’s work regularly
appears in local and regional newspapers around the
country, as well as The International Herald Tribune. She
has also written about travel for Arthur Frommer’s Budget
Travel magazine, Fast Company, and Travel + Leisure.
Prior to travel writing, Susan covered technology and the
Internet, contributing articles to The New York Times and
other publications. Previously, she was the CyberTimes
Deputy Editor for the Times, assigning and editing articles
about the Internet, e-commerce, and new technologies.
Before moving to New York City, she worked as an editor
for CNET in San Francisco, helping develop one of the first
Web sites to capitalize on the possibilities of the Internet,
publishing articles about computers, gadgets, and digital life
exclusively online. She has also edited several how-to
books and written a resume guidebook for Barnes & Noble.
While much of the research for How to Travel Practically
Anywhere involved sitting in front of a computer,
comparing Web sites and reading the fine print of
cancellation policies, many of the most useful lessons came
from time spent in the air and on the road. She lived and
worked in Buenos Aires, Argentina for two years, exploring
much of Latin America, and studied abroad in Florence,
Italy during college. But her favorite place to visit is still a
lake in northern Michigan, where the water looks like the
Caribbean but is much, much colder.
