Experience

Following a decade of work in the publishing, photography, and film industries, Isabel now lives in Mexico City, where her dream of driving to beaches and writing about her travels has now come true. Born in London, she moved to Berlin to pursue her photography career. Her editorial work has since led her to travel across 37 countries and counting. She now accompanies her photography with well-researched travel writing with a focus on arts and culture. She has had work published by Culture Trip, The Independent Photographer, Indie Magazine, Material Magazine, Resident Advisor, Crack Magazine, and Berlin Film Journal to name a few.

Education

Isabel has a BA in English Literature from the University of Kent.
