About Me

Follow me on Twitter @pattyhodapp

I travel the world and interview people for a living. My work relies on serendipity, a sense of humor, and of course, delayed planes.

I’m a solo traveler and journalist. But most of all, I love a good multi-month romp abroad. My expat homes are scattered around the world—Ireland, England, Italy, Puerto Rico, and Spain.

I currently live in Mallorca (a sweet little Spanish island in the Mediterranean) where I write about endurance sports and gear, and edit web content for Men’s Fitness magazine. I also contribute travel and adventure sports content to Outside magazine.

I’ve edited web content for SHAPE magazine, managed Lost Girls World as it’s deputy editor, and interned at both Outside magazine and ALLURE magazine. I’ve written and reported for Travel Channel, CBS Travel correspondent Peter Greenberg, Huffington Post Travel, Oyster Hotel Reviews, Travel Squire magazine, City Path, and several other publications. I have a degree in magazine journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University.
