Writing
I have worked as a journalist and anthropologist throughout my life. Insights from both feed into my writing practice. Below, you will find a selection of magazine articles focused on travel and sustainability, in-depth interviews with thought leaders and creatives from around the globe, and excerpts from a regular culture column. You can also read about my research and follow links to my academic articles. I am open for commissions in science writing about health and the environment.
