Hire the Best Travel Writers
in the United Kingdom

A multi-award nominated full-time freelance travel writer, I am a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers (the professional body for UK travel writers) and The African Travel and Tourism Association (ATTA). I honed my writing skills with a competitive voluntary internship at 101Holidays. Since then, I have worked with numerous companies to create evocative content for website landing pages as well as informative guides and hotel reviews utilising SEO keywords in a naturalistic way. My work extends to writing for a variety of websites, newspapers and magazines, Wanderlust, BBC Travel, The i, Independent, Daily Mail, Travel Africa and Beau Monde Traveller. I have also updated several guidebooks for Bradt, while my blog has been studied at A-level English.

I am a highly experienced writer and editor specializing in hospitality/tourism, real estate and B2B topics . I have produced over 2,000 pages of content published in magazines, apps, guidebooks, reports, white papers, press releases and online. I am an expert researcher with a wide network of business and travel media contacts. I am editor for a major global B2B travel publisher. Past and current hospitality clients include Hyatt Hotels, Expedia, Skyscanner, Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Airbnb, global cruise brands and several global finance houses. I am also former editor of the Jakarta Post. I am an accomplished marketing manager with extensive experience in marketing strategy for a range of travel/hospitality and property clients. Also a senior marketing copywriter for a major international hotel/property group responsible for all marketing output in Southeast Asia.

I have completed a BA(hons) and Masters in Literature, providing me with a strong command of English. I understand how academic writing should be structured, and have a genuine passion for writing. I have also spent the last 18 months teaching English and essay writing to students in Korea. Teaching has helped me develop my grammar, as I was often required to teach complex structures to advanced students.
