I write about sustainable tourism, Indigenous cultures, and wellness travel for publications including CNN Travel, The Times, The London Standard, Wanderlust, Robb Report, Sleeper, Citizen Femme, Tatler and Condé Nast Traveller.

 

My work has taken me to all seven continents, reporting on environments as diverse as the frozen wilderness of the Arctic and Antarctica, the grassy plains of the Kenyan bush, the sweeping sand dunes of the Empty Quarter desert, and the dizzying heights of the Himalayas.

 

With roots in Sweden and Argentina, I am passionate about highlighting travel experiences that foster a greater understanding of cultures around the world. 

​

I am honoured to have had my work recognised with a few industry awards. I was shortlisted in the AITO Travel Writer of the Year Awards 2026; shortlisted in the Inspire Global Media Awards 2025; and in 2024 I won the 'Travel Trade Feature of the Year' category in the British Guild of Travel Writers' Members' Excellence Awards.

​

Due to my commitment to covering ecotourism, for four years running I also helped judge the 'Best Sustainable Travel Story' category in the Australian Society of Travel Writers' awards.
