I started travelling seriously in my early twenties with a backpack and a budget that made every decision a trade-off. Twenty years and more than fifty countries later, I've swapped the backpack for a carry-on and the trade-offs for a genuine understanding of what makes a luxury hotel worth the investment. That arc – from budget-conscious traveller to discerning critic – shapes everything I write.Based in London, I work across several industries as a freelance writer, but travel has always been the thread that connects everything else. It's where I'm most curious, most precise, and most willing to challenge received wisdom about what constitutes a great stay.
