Claire Dodd

Growing up in Manchester, all my family holidays as a child were to north Wales, a place I still love dearly and visit frequently. There’s nothing like eating a ‘99’ in the pouring rain – I won’t hear a word against it!

It was only entering my twenties that I really began to see the world. Now based in London, my career as a freelance travel writer has taken me right across the globe, from the beloved resort towns and capital cities of Europe, to tiny Pacific islands, the vast deserts of northern Africa and even to the Arctic.

I’ve been lucky enough to tick off over 60 countries, but my specialisms include the Caribbean, Canada and the US. For me, it’s the infinite variety, incredible wildlife and diverse culture each of these holiday hotspots offer that keeps pulling me back.

You can find my work in Wanderlust, JRNY, The Independent, The i, The Telegraph, National Geographic, The Times and Time Out among others. I also share insights into my travels on my Instagram.

For TravelSupermarket, I’m focused on helping you get the best value for money possible, whether you’re looking for a Greek island escape, an all-inclusive for all the family, or a spa break with the girls. Now more than ever, taking a break, forging some lifelong memories and doing so without breaking the bank, is so important. Follow along as I share the best destination and hotel deals we can find.
