​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.
