I am a freelance writer based in Mexico City since 2004. I cover all aspects of travel, lifestyle and culture in Mexico and Central America for publications around the globe, as well as travelling widely elsewhere when I get the opportunity. I have a particular passion for adventure travel and eco-tourism, as well as food, cinema and literature.

I was previously a reporter for Reuters news agency, and have lived and worked in places as diverse as Managua, Frankfurt, Dubai, Moscow, Tashkent and Kiev. I write mainly in English, speak Spanish and French fluently and muddle my way through in Russian and German. I also take photos.
