Journalist in Colombia. I write about nature, culture and politics

 
 
 

What drives someone to create? Why are people drawn to culture? What does creativity reveal about individuals and national identity? These are the questions I ask myself during my reporting, which often focuses on culture in the broadest sense. I’m fascinated by the natural world, an approach that informs my travel writing. 

I report on Latin America for The Economist and The Observer, with work published in National Geographic Traveller, BBC Travel, Wanderlust magazine, Lonely Planet, Intrepid Travel,the i newspaper,Tempus and Condé Nast. I am the lead author of DK Travel’s new guidebook to Colombia, published late 2026.

Prior to moving to Colombia, I was the assistant culture editor at The Economist in London, where started in 2019 as an intern on the audience team. Since then, I have written about politics, music, art, architecture, film, food, forests, indigenous rights and podcasts, as well as devised data-driven strategies to a young, global audience interested in world-class reporting. 

Besides Colombia, India, Thailand and Montpellier are places I’ve called home. I have also worked for the Sunday Times Style, Suitcase and Plinth, an art platform. I do freelance editing, copywriting and ghostwriting for lifestyle brands, tech and cities.
