Interview

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

By email, not with a cold call.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

All I need is my laptop, wifi and Google docs

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram

Who do you wish followed you?

Anthony Bourdain

Why did you become a journalist?

For the flexibility it allows me to tell the stories I want to tell, learn the things I want to learn and work from anywhere in the world.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

Any pitch where you call me instead of emailing me first. Please just don't.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That it's all play and no work
