California-born, New York–based, and forever chasing the next reservation, Lauren Harano is a food and travel journalist with nearly a decade of experience writing for both glossy magazines and digital publications. Her work has appeared in some of her favourite outlets, including (but not limited to) Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Lesuire, National Geographic, and Fodor’s Travel. She covers everything from scene-stealing restaurants and five-star stays to iconic destinations that deserve a spot on every traveler’s list. When she’s not writing or interviewing sources, she’s likely adding to her extensive — yet very curated — restaurant list, scouting the perfect hotel for her next adventure, or finding cats in every city she visits.
