UK and EU travel writer

Location: Newquay, UK

Nina is a freelance journalist specializing in action sports and adventure travel. She has written for The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent, and Evening Standard, among others.

As a child, Nina’s family never visited the same place twice and always opted for the adventurous route – from hiking through southern Germany to cross-country skiing in Norway. Since then, she’s traveled across the majority of Europe, as well as explored the US, Canada, Australia, India, Indonesia, and the Maldives. She spent many winters living in the Alps, but has now settled in Cornwall where she enjoys surfing, cold sea dips, and beach walks with her daughter.

Favorite train trip

Geneva to Visp in Switzerland because the train skirts the shoreline of Lake Geneva and offers a truly beautiful view of the snow-capped Alps behind, especially at sunrise.
