When she's not actually on the road, Features Editor Caroline Costello is invariably planning her next adventure—and keeping an eye out for incredible travel offers as well.

Her travel accomplishments include surviving a 2 a.m. whitewater rafting excursion in the Canadian wilderness, successfully biking from Dusseldorf to Cologne without a map, and gaining access to a covert pizza speakeasy in New Orleans.

Caroline is an active member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). Her work has appeared on AOL.com, MSNBC.com, ABC News, TODAY Travel, and CruiseCritic.com, among other publications.
