As a freelance travel writer, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to a variety of projects, including reviewing and writing guidebooks for Lonely Planet, Fodor’s and DK Eyewitness, creating blog posts for Culture Trip and editing for trivago Portugal. Below is a collection of articles I’ve written.
Occasionally I also do video collaborations.
