SELECTED WRITING
Alongside my work with Story Collective, I write features, profiles, Q&As, reviews, essays and commentary for some of the world’s leading travel and lifestyle magazines. (They still exist!)
FEATURE REPORTING
Dispatches from Vietnam; Iran; Zambia; New Delhi; Yellowstone National Park; New Orleans one year after Katrina, and Russia’s Star City cosmonaut training center. Plus: music in Los Angeles; London in the 90s; Asbury Park in the 00s, and the Amalfi Coast, forever and always.
ESSAYS + OPINION
On being hopeless at foreign languages; chronic overpacking, the perils of flying with your partner; the end of the guidebook; six months at Saigon’s batshit-craziest hotel; and traveling a planet with too many pictures; too much Muzak; too many choices; and too many Brooklyns.
HOTELS + DESIGN
Spotlights on favorite stays: Rockhouse in Jamaica; Nihi Sumba in Indonesia; the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi; Nayara in Costa Rica; Blackberry Mountain in Tennessee; Octola Lodge in Lapland; and Rosewood Hong Kong, where even your powder room is decked in Loro Piana cashmere.
FOOD + DRINK
Stories about my obsession with oysters; eating across Israel with Mike Solomonov; crayfishing in Sweden with Marcus Samuelsson; the best counter dining in Tokyo; the delirium of foreign supermarkets; and the search for the perfect seaside restaurant, from Maryland to Marin.
