Hi, I'm Kira!

I'm a London-based freelance travel and food journalist with bylines in Financial Times, National Geographic Traveller (UK), Adventure.com, Intrepid Travel and more.

I'm interested in food traditions, slow train travel, wellness and community-focussed stories, particularly in the Caribbean and Latin America. I'm also an experienced breaking news writer and enjoy radio and podcasts.

I graduated with a first class honours degree in Journalism from City, University of London in 2023 and received two Edward Mace Awards: 1st place for the highest awarded final project and 3rd place highest achieving Journalism student, alongside the 1st place Nick Lewis Trust Award for being the highest achieving BA Journalism student in my second year.

In 2023, I was selected for the HarperCollins Author Academy and Intrepid Travel's first Diversifying Travel Media press trip. This year, I was chosen for the first Step Up scheme in partnership with leading travel media organisations.
