Robin Catalano

A specialist in nature and animal conservation, coastal travel, the Northeast U.S and Spain, Robin is a travel journalist for National Geographic, T+L, Time, Smithsonian, Conde Nast Traveler, AFAR, Hemispheres and many other publications. A native New Englander now living in the Hudson Valley, Robin understands the call of the sea, the allure of rock-strewn beaches and shrouded forests, the value of slowly savoring experiences. She also knows that a Maine-style lobster roll — the one true lobster roll — is best paired with a crisp hard cider and that nothing beats a Rhode Island clam cake. An honorary Spaniard by marriage, Robin visits Spain frequently and has never met a town or tapa she didn’t like. When she’s not writing she can usually be found exploring regional lakes in her inflatable kayak, hiking the Taconics or wildlife watching around her home.. Read her work here.
