I have been a freelance journalist for around 20 years. I have written about everything from hair mousse to electric heaters and from women who have lost half their body weight to how to avoid problems when using your credit card abroad. Over the years I have written for most of the UK national newspapers and women's weekly magazines as well as airline magazines and many websites. In recent years I have specialised in travel, especially family travel, skiing and luxury hotels. On this page are a few pictures from my trips, and you can read some of my articles at www.catherinecooper.net
