About me
Used to work as a tour guide in the UK, France and Italy – partly showing American students the famous sights but mostly just holding their hair back the morning after they discovered Europe’s teenage drinking laws are more lax than in the US. Now a full time journalist for a UK tourism magazine after stints writing awful magazines for travel, retail and other big rich companies.Recent activity
