I am a food and travel writer based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
After graduating from the University of London, I qualified as a journalist and have been writing professionally since 2005. I went freelance in 2008.
I have lived in Amsterdam for six years and have been the Food & Drink editor for Time Out Amsterdam magazine, as well as having written for Amsterdam Weekly newspaper, Time Out guides, Holland Herald, Conde Nast's World of Interiors and others. I am also the founder of Eat-Amsterdam.com, a restaurant review and food news website.
My first book, Walk & Eat Amsterdam, a food-based guide to the Dutch capital, was published in 2011.
