Where are you based?
These days, I split my time between Los Angeles and Vancouver.
What topics and places do you cover?
A little bit of everything, honestly: sustainable travel, adventure, wellness, solo and family travel. I'm originally from Buenos Aires, so Latin America comes up often in my work. Being West Coast-based, I also gravitate toward that corner of the US and Canada. But what really excites me are the less-traveled destinations, the ones that aren't on everyone's itinerary.
What outlets do you usually pitch (and write for)?
My work has appeared in Vogue, Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper*, Afar, Virtuoso, Globe and Mail, LA Times, and Architectural Digest, among others.
Are you in-house or freelance (or both)?
Freelance, though I've worked in-house before, so I understand both worlds.
In your past professional life, you were …
I got my start at the Chicago Tribune, then headed to LA, where I worked in marketing communications at Sony Pictures and LACMA. After moving to Vancouver, I wrote for local publications and the Vancouver Sun, then shifted into copywriting at a creative agency. Eventually, I launched Yes& Creative, my own boutique agency focused on social media and storytelling, working with clients in spirits, cannabis, wellness, and hospitality — including Aman, Four Seasons, and Auberge. Before becoming a travel writer, I wrote mostly for music publications.
Where would you like to return to?
Any chance to go back to Africa, and I'm on the next flight. I've also been to Japan a handful of times and never tire of it. If someone asks me my favorite place in the world, I genuinely struggle — I've loved nearly everywhere I've been — but Namibia, South Africa, and Antarctica hold a very special place in my memory.
What's on your bucket list?
Another safari, for starters, and Botswana is at the top. Gorilla trekking is a dream. And I have a long list that includes Cambodia, Vietnam, Madagascar, Peru, Bolivia, and the Arctic. What's that famous quote… I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
Where do you travel for fun?
Summers in British Columbia are pretty spectacular, so I lean into that, often kayaking and camping with the kids around Desolation Sound, the Sunshine Coast, and the Southern Gulf Islands. I also get back to Buenos Aires a couple of times a year to visit family, and make it to Barcelona and Geneva when I can.
Your funniest (or most harrowing) travel story is …
I was seven or eight, flying from Buenos Aires to Venezuela with my mom, when something went wrong with the plane, and we had to make an emergency landing in Rio. I had never been to Brazil. While everyone else was probably stressed, I was absolutely thrilled. The airline put us up in a hotel by the beach for a night or two, and I thought it was the greatest thing that had ever happened to me. Looking back, that unplanned detour might be the moment I became a travel writer.
What advice would you give your younger professional self?
Keep a journal. Write down the interesting things you see, the people you meet, the small moments that catch you off guard. You never know when you'll want to reach back into a long-ago journey for a detail that brings a story to life.
