I'm Linda King – a passionate author, travel writer, and travel blogger behind The Smart Travelista. With a background as a travel agent and banker, I bring together a wealth of knowledge in both travel and money management to help others explore the world smarter and more affordably...
…As the creator of The Smart Travelista brand, my mission is simple: to share insider travel tips and practical money-saving strategies so you can get more out of every journey—without breaking the bank.
I’ve published ten books: seven in the Smart Travelista series, focused on travel and savings, and three in the fun and lighthearted Antics from Abroad series.
My love for travel began early. A four-month road trip around Australia as a child sparked a lifelong passion, and I’ve been exploring the globe ever since.
