Born and raised in the UK, Sophie is an adventurous editor and journalist with a serious case of wanderlust. Before moving to the Netherlands, she spent eight years living in Hong Kong, heading up one of the city’s biggest lifestyle websites and exploring Southeast Asia at any given chance.

Over the past decade, she has written for numerous lifestyle and travel publications including Time Out, Culture Trip, Localiiz, and Discovery. She now enjoys creating inspiring content to help Expatica readers live the expat life to the fullest.
