"Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
DREAM. DARE. DO.
An award-winning journalist with 20 years' international experience, Louise began her career at Condé Nast Traveller and The Guardian. She was awarded PTC New Journalist of the Year 2005 for her investigative reportage exclusives and worked as a woman's editor and features director on best-selling publications.
She has featured as a panellist on BBC Women's Hour and had her work read out in Parliament. Her Closer! cover campaign unveiling underage sunbed misuse as a leading cause of UK U18 skin cancer led to a new Bill being passed in Parliament - the Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 to prevent U18s using sunbeds.
Having lived and worked in Paris, Singapore, UAE and London, and travelled and skied all over the world to as many remote places as possible, it was a natural next step to become a travel writer, For the last 10-years Louise has worked as a freelance travel writer and editor, specialising in creative and immersive storytelling for the wildly adventurous.
Her work is published in The Telegraph, BBC, Marie Claire, Travel Channel, and Emirates 24/7 and many more. Recent stories include reporting on - and racing - St Moritz's Cresta Run (BBC Sports), freeride skiing and ice-climbing in Austria (The Telegraph) and interviewing Mike Tindall MBE (Ski+board).
An editorial consultan, Lou and her team represent various companies in a PR capacity outlining and implementing media strategy. Clients include Thames Rockets, EAHeliski and Swiss Mountain Rescue.
