When I quit my job and PhD two years ago to be a freelance travel writer my Dad absolutely thought I was nuts, but he just text me these pics of my Ljubljana city guide in print in The Sunday Times so I think he approves now ✨

It is illegal to sell chewing gum in Singapore. Did you know that? You do now. Conspiracy theories as to why, welcomed

I think the best thing about this job is when the lush small businesses you feature in your work drop you a line to say "so many people are coming in thanks to your article" and your heart soars a bit

I have taken myself on a little weekend break holiday to Mumbai and I'm here to say I think every guidebook writer should do an off duty trip, post-completion, because it's just an unadulterated joy to be here, pottering around for fun again 💙

Greta Gerwig being the humble, weeping queen of every international film awards ceremony going is like a drug to me honestly
At the opening ceremony of the 77th @Festival_Cannes French singer Zaho de Sagazan performed David Bowie’s “Modern Love,” for the festival’s jury president Greta Gerwig, who sang the song in the film, “Frances Ha.” #Cannes2024

Chocolate! Chiang Mai! For @Thrillist - well, research doesn't come better than this 💜 (sidenote: I pitched this for 18 months before these champs trusted me with it and I'm so pleased with how it turned out; never give up on your stories, writer pals) https://t.co/1cNFilc0G5

Chiang Mai's chocolate scene is sweet, a little spicy, and booming.

I'm so glad I finally started reading "The Ministry of the Future" this week while SE Asia and South America are in extreme heat waves that are killing people, it's the perfect time to dive into this dystopian climate change masterpiece 🤦🏻♀️

Do any other travel writers use booking dot com for both professional and personal life research then get these bonkers emails like "Do you still want to book The Maldives and Weston super Mare"? Neither actually, thanks lads 🤣

For @them, @TCristofoletti and I spoke to four of the sweetest couples about their hopes for #marriageequality in Thailand. With a bill currently in debate, there's a possibility 2024 could see same-sex marriage become a reality.

Three couples speak to how marriage equality would transform their lives beyond marriage — and potentially shift Thai culture.

At the point of guidebook write up where I can correctly estimate how many words are in a paragraph just by glancing at it, FINALLY MAYBE THIS IS MY SUPER POWER

I don't know what part of me thought writing up guidebook in England in February was a good idea but I would like a time machine to go slap that part in the face, thanks 🐟

Pitch me! Looking to hear from queer (non-cisgender, please) folks for a service-y story in Travel + Leisure for the June issue. If that's you and you're comfortable writing about your identity as it relates to travel, DM me.
