Lois Alter Mark

A passionate traveler, Lois Alter Mark has visited all seven continents and has been sharing her adventures and insights for almost two decades through outlets like Travel + Leisure, Forbes, USA Today and Yahoo! She loves finding the places the locals go, learning the stories behind them and, through her signature conversational tone, encouraging readers to get out and experience them themselves. An award-winning writer, she was chosen by Oprah as an Ultimate Viewer and accompanied her on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia in 2010. She feels right at home in a hotel, a cruise ship and a plane -- especially in first class.
