I am a Scottish freelance based between there and Northern New York. I enjoy writing about culturally immersive travel experiences in ‘remote’ places and I am obsessed with crafts—especially textiles, especially wool. My stories have appeared in publications including Condé Nast Traveler, BBC Travel, National Geographic Travel (US), National Geographic Traveller (UK), The Washington Post, The Times, and Virtuoso.
I come from a small town in Scotland, went to university in London, and have lived in Japan, Chile, Australia, the Czech Republic, Iceland and all over the United States. I speak fluent Spanish and some Japanese.
