Travel Writer

Hi, I’m Ivy

A Sydney-based travel writer with an American accent, two passports and a curiosity that’s taken me to some extraordinary corners of the world. My byline gets around, from leading travel publications and newspapers to campaigns for some of the world’s best-known hospitality and lifestyle brands. I have a soft spot for places with character (and for characters with places). The stories that resonate are often found where nobody thought to look. Let’s make something worth reading.
