What is So there’s this place…?

So there’s this place… is a travel newsletter by moi, a former fashion editor turned travel writer, sharing my favorite places around the world. With nearly 15 years of experience as both an editor and writer at top publications, I’ll be sharing expertly curated guides, insider tips, and introducing you to off-the-beaten-path destinations in hopes of inspiring your next trip. In short, it’s a newsletter for curious travelers with taste across all budgets.

Why become a paid subscriber?

Paid subscribers will get full access to all content, including in-depth guides, insider tips, and archives. They’ll also be able to participate in Chat, where they can ask travel-related questions that I’ll answer both in real-time and through my monthly Travel Troubleshoot series. Paid subscribers will also have access to exclusive travel-related promotions.

But really, who am I?

I’m a writer and editor focusing on travel, design and lifestyle. I contribute regularly to Vogue, T New York Times Style, Architectural Digest, Prior, and more. Previously, I was a fashion editor at Condé Nast Publications, such as Vogue, GQ and Glamour. If that’s not enough, I defer you to my first newsletter :)
