BajaTRAVELER Staff Writer :: Katie McElveen

Travel writer Katie McElveen has spent the last ten years covering the globe for publications like Real Simple, Business Traveler, Town & Country, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, Modern Bride and AAA Go. McElveen’s travel adventures started at the age of 17 when, en route from Maryland to a family vacation in coastal South Carolina, she ended up lost in rural North Carolina. She eventually found her way to Charleston and liked it so much that she eventually married a South Carolinian and moved to the Palmetto state. McElveen has always loved Mexico, from her first visit, when she was invited to a beachfront hacienda and discovered lion and tiger cubs roaming the house, to her most recent, in Cabo San Lucas, where she watched, in awe, as half a dozen whales spent nearly half an hour frolicking just yards from the shore. Although McElveen usually sticks to wine and Mexican beer (Pacifico is her favorite), she enjoyed her research for her story about Clase Azul tequila tremendously and is thrilled to be writing for BajaTraveler.
