Danika Garlotta

Luxury Travel Writer & Co-Founder

Danika Garlotta is the co-founder and lead writer of No Destinations. In 2014, she and her husband Chris left their jobs in San Francisco, sold nearly everything, and bought a one-way ticket to Rome — trading a planned six-month sabbatical for four years of full-time travel across more than 250 destinations.

Along the way, their firsthand stories earned collaborations with Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria, Delta, and BMW, and features in Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, BBC Travel, and CNN. Danika reviews the hotels, restaurants, and cruises on No Destinations from her own stays. She now writes from Amsterdam, where she and Chris are raising two boys.
