About me

I’m a UK-based freelance writer and editor, with a focus on sustainable and cultural travel. Though I focus on consumer travel, I also work in the B2B arena, mainly writing and comms, and am available to give talks, moderate panel discussions and feature on podcasts or radio shows.

Japan is my speciality – I’m proficient in Japanese, lived in Kyoto for a year, and took my eighth trip there (skiing in Tomamu, exploring Asahikawa, hiking and bathing in Hakone, and hunting down gluten-free restaurants in Tokyo) in January 2020. Or is it my ninth trip by now? Either way, whatever your Japan needs – article, guidebook, podcast, webinar – just let me know, I’ll almost certainly be very happy to help.

My other great love is my home country of the UK, especially the Southwest, where I was born and raised (currently living near Truro in Cornwall). I’m also very much enjoying dalliances with South Korea, Denmark, Malta and Canada at the moment.

But whatever the project, if I’m interested in it, I’ll work on it! Need someone to write about the global impact of hallyu (the Korean Wave)? No problem. Record a podcast about how to travel with a bizarre allergy? I’m on it. Plan an itinerary for your next trip to Japan or the UK? Can do. Edit your academic work on pedagogical models at Hogwarts? I’d be honoured. Speak about sexuality, mental health, cooking, the joys of smashing the patriarchy while usually dressing like a fifties housewife? Just ask.
