Kathryn Cooper
Living with remote mountain tribes in Thailand, rock climbing in Malta, and photographing natives in Malaysia—these are just a few of Kathryn’s not-so-normal experiences from her work and travel abroad. As a New York City-based creative freelancer, she has worked in the writing, photography, innovation, television, and nonprofit fields from California to Vietnam.
Kathryn is not afraid to go where no foreigner has been before, whether it’s hiking with 5 Nepalese porters, 16 cows, and a yak into the Himalayas, or crashing a wedding in India only to end up as an impromptu, clueless palm reader with a line of eager customers snaking out the wedding tent.
She enjoys spontaneous road trips, scuba diving, cooking, being sarcastic, camping, eating, hiking, riding roller coasters, finding free food, playing board games, sliding down waterfalls, exploring new cities, learning random skills (she’s semi-deadly with a slingshot), and much, much more.
A lover of outdoor adventure both above the water and below, Kathryn probably won’t be found sitting down; instead, she’s likely to be out cliff jumping, hunting down bizarre bugs in the jungle, or diving in and out of mysterious underwater wrecks.
