I’m an award-winning journalist who specialises in travel and mental health. I cover these online, in print, on podcasts, on radio and TV. I have bipolar disorder and binge eating disorder. I also have an adorable Pomeranian called Esme who helps me research dog-friendly Times Travel articles.

Am I the only one watching Virgin Island screaming ‘why don’t you go to the pub?’ and/or - ‘travel back to a 90s house party & drink Metz & I guarantee not a single one of you will still be a virgin past 1am’?

Sometimes I like to imagine that all the characters an actor plays are the same person. Watching Heretic certainly answers where ‘missing’ Daniel Cleaver was anyway.
