​Stories from Scandinavia


​I’m a travel and features journalist based in Copenhagen. ​I write stories about travel, food, culture and people across Scandinavia, the Arctic and the Nordic countries, with a particular interest in brave people who challenge the norm, and wild places far from the conventional tourist map.  I am the Copenhagen correspondent for Time Out and Telegraph Travel’s Oslo expert, and I’m a regular contributor to numerous magazines and websites, including BBC Travel, where I write about travel trends and behaviour.
