Hi and welcome,

I’ve been a freelance journalist (and a few other things) since 2010. During that time, home was mostly in Cambodia—go visit if you haven’t yet—where I wrote for national, regional, and international outlets, covering everything from travel and culture to local news. Along the way, I discovered what I love most: telling the stories of people who are deeply passionate about what they do (honestly, it’s the best job out there). My work has appeared in Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia, the South China Morning Post, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Irish Examiner, among others.

In 2019, I went back to school, again, to boost my knowledge with a postgraduate diploma in Gastronomy and Food Studies from the astounding team at Technological University Dublin, focusing especially on food tourism, food media, and the global food system. I own far too many cookbooks, and make no apologies for that.

My two Cambodian cats and I now live at the foot of the Pyrenees in Southwest France. They’re happy because they still get to hunt snakes (and hide them in my bed). I’m happy because I live in the most beautiful part of the world I’ve ever seen, The Béarn—again, go visit if you haven’t yet.

My focus now is on writing about this region, about food wherever it may be found, and about the people whose passions inspire the world around them.

And when I’m not doing that, I’m also a yoga teacher and aspiring pet and garden photographer.

Get in touch if you’d like work together/find out more/invite me to dinner.
