Valerie Hansen

ravel writer, photographer, and storyteller who believes the best adventures happen after you’ve lived a little. My work focuses on culture-rich destinations, historic places, and stylish stays that feel meaningful, not rushed. I create guides and narratives for women who want more than checklist travel — women who travel with curiosity, confidence, and a love of beauty, history and great experiences. My writing has taken me across the USA, Canada and Europe, collaborating with tourism boards, boutique hotels, eco-friendly resorts, and destinations that value authenticity. I focus on cultural immersion, responsible travel, and journeys that inspire connection and self-discovery. I've partnered with over 150 travel/hopsitality brands, tourism boards and lifestyle companies over the past 11 yrs. I've been named in the top 1% of collective trip experts on the TRIP ADVISOR platform.
