For the past seven years I’ve lived at the intersection of wanderlust and words, turning raw trip notes into stories that make readers reach for their passports. I joined TravelPulse after stints at Lonely Planet China and Skyscanner’s editorial hub, where I led a team that grew organic traffic by 180 % in twelve months and won the 2023 SATW “Best Digital Feature” award for our Silk Road reboot.
My beat is immersive, experience-first travel: slow trains through the Balkans, night markets in Taipei, and glacier hikes you can reach by city bus. I pair cinematic photography with data-driven SEO—every article is plotted on a keyword map before the first sentence is written, yet still reads like a postcard from a friend.
When I’m not on assignment, you’ll find me calibrating color profiles in Lightroom, beta-testing new mapping tools, or plotting the next micro-adventure from my base in Lisbon. I believe the best itineraries are half-plan, half-serendipity, and every editor’s job is to leave space for both.
Let’s build stories that move people—across borders and down the page.
