Experience

Lois discovered travel journalism as a student many years ago. A wanderlust-hungry English student wanting to combine her two loves, writing and travel, is what led to her exciting career. During her studies, Lois completed a work placement in the editorial offices of Conde Nast Traveller London, where she fell even more in love with travel writing. From there, she graduated with honours and began work as an SEO journalist, before transitioning to her other love: writing about running. Since then, she has worked as a deputy editor for several lifestyle publications, including a global travel brand. Through this, she has been able to see even more of the world, visiting both Finland and California with the respective tourism boards.

Education

Lois has a master's degree in English Literature and a postgraduate degree in Digital Journalism.
