Based in her home county of Essex, Kerry Walker is an award-winning British travel writer, author, photographer and translator, with a love of mountains, cold places and true wilderness. She has a keen interest in responsible, family and accessible travel.
Kerry’s travels have taken her to all seven continents – from the frozen wilderness of Antarctica and the Arctic to the Australian Outback. Over the past 20 years she has hitchhiked with Thai royalty, sledged with Tibetan monks, served beer at Oktoberfest and swum with whale sharks – all in the name of a story.
Kerry’s writing appears regularly in publications including The Telegraph, The Times, Lonely Planet, National Geographic Traveller, Condé Nast Traveller, the iPaper, The Guardian and The Independent. A specialist in Central and Southern Europe, Kerry is the author/co-author of dozens of Lonely Planet guidebooks and coffee table titles. She is a destination expert for the Telegraph (Wales, Austria and Essex) and The Times (Europe).
Often travelling with her camera in hand, Kerry’s photography endeavours to capture subtle nuances in light, textural detail and unusual angles, with the aim of capturing the personality and changing moods of a place.
Besides six years living in Germany’s Black Forest, Kerry has also lived for short periods in Spain, France, Greece and Switzerland. A translator qualified to MA level, she can speak fluent German, Spanish and French, as well as some Portuguese and Italian.
Kerry is available for freelance writing, photography, translation and copywriting assignments. She is never happier than when planning her next adventure…
