About the author
Snappy and insightful travel journalist, Louise Hudson writes for a host of newspaper travel sections, online sites, and her own blog: www.onetwoski.blogspot.com. Published in three countries since 2005, her work has made its way into Ski Canada, More Canada, LA Times, USA Today, Dallas Morning News, Boston Globe, Globe & Mail and Houston Chronicle among many others. As well as winter sports articles, she writes tantalizing travel tales for a variety of outlets including the Calgary Herald in Canada, which she considers her part-time home. Meeting Simon at school in England in 1975 has led to a lifetime of adventurous travel and work abroad together, as well as a measure of audacious entrepreneurialism when they set up a very successful fashion business in the 1980s. Louise contributes cutting-edge case studies and energetic editing to this manual.
