I’m a freelance journalist based in sunny Brighton. I started my career writing for teen magazines and women’s glossies and have written travel features for magazines including Best, New! and more!My most memorable trip involved a visit to the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, followed by a dip in the Dead Sea and an afternoon swimming with dolphins. My favourite holiday spots are Positano and the Greek Islands but I’d love to travel to New Zealand - and I dream of seeing the Northern Lights.
