Lindsey Olander is a travel writer and photographer based in New York City, currently covering hotels and destinations as a Senior Editor at Jetsetter. Previously, she spent five years on staff at Travel + Leisure after graduating with a B.S. in Magazine Journalism from Boston University.

When she’s not on the road, she’s writing. You can find her byline in Travel + Leisure, Jetsetter, Surface Magazine, Wallpaper*, TIME, Yahoo, Smithsonian Magazine, Southern Living, and Huffington Post, among others. She’s recently gone whisky tasting in Scotland, glacier hiking in Iceland, gorilla trekking in Uganda, and skiing in the Swiss Alps, but reports from everywhere.

In her downtime, you’ll probably find her drinking too much vanilla chai and taking too many photos. Her life’s mantra: “Buy the ticket, take the ride.” – Hunter S. Thompson
