Former Wanderlust Digital Editor Elizabeth Atkin has been a specialist journalist since 2013, covering travel, lifestyle, entertainment, health and product reviews. She has also worked as Digital Editor for other national magazines. Her travel stories have been featured by Wanderlust, Grazia, MadeForMums, Closer, FHM and Umbrella magazine.
