Born in N. Ireland, I lived in London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Toulouse, Berlin and Shanghai before moving to Valencia, Spain in 2021.

I’ve been a journalist most of my professional life for international media outlets. Check out some of my articles on Spain for BBC Travel.

I love mega-cities, remote places and going beyond the obvious tourist to-dos. An obsession with food, from street stands to fine dining, shapes my travels.

I’ve visited 60+ countries so far, including North and South America, Japan, China, South Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa.

It goes without saying that I really, really love travel planning!
