She's passionate about making up stories, the arts, surrealism, underground culture, dilapidated art nouveau buildings, languages and travel. She's currently writing a guidebook on Budapest and Vienna for Moon Travel Guides, and has published stories with National Geographic Travel, Condé Nast Traveler, BBC Travel, The Independent, The Guardian, among others.
