Formerly arts and culture editor at a leading independent lifestyle magazine, Vicky now mainly focuses on travel writing and photography. Her bylines include BBC Travel, The Independent, inews and many more. Vicky has visited around 50 countries (at the time of writing this 2023 bio) and the wanderlust is far from fading. A self-confessed experience junkie, she enjoys delving into local traditions – even when it comes to sampling some dubious ‘specialities’ – and pushing the boundaries of her comfort zone. Scariest adventure? Probably bungee jumping over one of Nepal’s wildest rivers. Arts and culture is still one of Vicky’s favourite topics to explore, both at home and abroad. Spanish is another big interest; she speaks it fluently (well, more or less) and has a certificate in Spanish language and culture from Salamanca University.
