Lottie Knutson is probably the best known travel personality in Sweden. She was Marketing and Communications Director of TUI Nordic until 2014 and is trusted by and known to most Swedes as a travel expert and spokesperson for the industry.

Lottie became a public figure during the tsunami crisis of 2004, in which her former company had a large proportion of the affected Nordic customers in Thailand. She received several awards for this, including a gold medal, The Serafim Order, from His Majesty the King of Sweden.

Today, Lottie Knutson is a freelance writer, advisor, travel influencer and (not professional, but not too shabby) photographer.

Her topics are upmarket and/or personalized hotels and destinations. She often tries to cover subjects such as nature and endemic species, small scale producers of food and wine as well as authentic restaurants with a focus on local dishes and seasonal produce.

Lottie looks for the personal touch, and hears sharable stories in the hotels and destinations she visits. Snorkelling is her main interest, no matter where on earth.
