The Best of World Cruising - Hardcover

Catriona Rowntree is a household name and has earned the title of ‘Australia’s Most Travelled Woman’, after more than 23 years at the helm of Channel Nine’s Getaway. Born into a long line of chatterboxes on Sydney’s North Shore, Catriona has spent her life on the road, sharing stories from around the world, inspiring people to travel and generally talking her head off. It was all going swimmingly until Catriona accidentally fell in love with a sheep and grain farmer from Victoria; he is very handsome – she had no say in the matter. Somehow in the blink of an eye, her two sons were born, Andrew and Charlie. They also talk a lot and thankfully love to travel with their mum.
Catriona combines her travels with community work, notably as the Patron of The Arnotts Foundation, supporting AWI and Merino Wool, ambassadorial work with Naturesway Vitamins, Travel Card travel insurance and her own travel website, Journeys To Come. Catriona loves gardening; even though her husband believes she has a talent for bringing plants home to die, she is determined to turn her patch of the world into a slice of Provence with a dollop of Tuscany thrown in.
Catriona has published two other books – Catriona’s Australia: 100 of My Favourite Aussie Locations and A Grandmother’s Wisdom. You will often find her in random parts of the world and she is always up for a chat.
