Cassandra Brooklyn

Cassandra is a freelance writer and guidebook author with bylines in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Daily Beast, and Forbes, among others. While she’s written everything from real estate features to recipe recommendations, her work typically focuses on travel, sustainability, the intersection of technology and culture, and all things outdoors. She’s also the owner of EscapingNY, a travel consultancy specializing in off-the-beaten path travel around the world. She rotates between New York City, where she brews kombucha and composts obsessively, and Milwaukee, where she helps care for her mother.
