One of my favourite pieces I've written this year - and a perfect example of why Colombia shouldn't be judged by its but its hope for the future. Thanks @ImpulseTravelco for showing me Medellín
In 1988, Time magazine dubbed Medellín the ‘world’s most dangerous city’... Today, a new tour explores another perspective. Steph Dyson @worldlyadventur learns the truth about that dark period in history, and how this Colombian city has been transformed. adventure.com/medellin-narco…

I've been buried in edits for the second edition of Moon Chile (landing summer 2025! 🥳), so it's nice to come up for air and find out I've been nominated in the @latauk media awards for my @JrnYmag piece about puma conservation in Torres del Paine🥂

I'm proud of @lottiecgross (always, but particularly) for the bravery in writing this piece about how her mum passing away has reshaped her approach to life and work ♥️
Wrote something extremely raw and personal in today's @TTWnewsletter. You know where to find it if you want to read, but here's a little extract I hope will help someone today. Nothing really matters, and that's great. Trust me

Why does this look like we're getting to see the back of Trump's head as we learn Voldemort has been living there this whole time?
Nothing excites me more than gifting President Trump my latest piece honoring his real heroism. Today I feel like Leonardo D'Vinchie presenting Christ with The Last Supper mere days after the resurrection.
