About Beth Well Traveled

Beth Graham is a veteran travel writer, PR strategist, and founder of Beth Well Traveled, a luxury and experiential travel platform focused on culinary travel, boutique hotels, wellness escapes, Caribbean destinations, and immersive cultural experiences around the world.

With more than 30 years of experience in travel and communications, Beth combines deep destination expertise with the storytelling instincts of a longtime public relations strategist. Her work has been featured in Travel + Leisure, Fodor’s Travel, Lonely Planet, Thrillist, Business Insider, Saveur, Southern Living, EatingWell, Islands, Travelocity, Garden & Gun, and other leading travel and lifestyle publications.

After living in Milan, Beth developed a lasting connection to Italy’s food, wine, and culture that continues to shape much of her work today. From cooking classes in Umbria to vineyard lunches in Tuscany to boutique hotel discoveries across Europe, her approach to travel centers around meaningful experiences and a strong sense of place.

But Beth Well Traveled is not simply about luxury for the sake of luxury. It is about discovering the moments that make a destination unforgettable — the hidden beach restaurant you still think about years later, the local market that teaches you more about a culture than any guidebook ever could, the boutique hotel that completely transforms the way you experience a city.

Beth also writes about tourism marketing and travel media trends at Travel PR Unpacked.
