300 days! But I finished the @duolingoverde.bsky.social Arabic course over a month ago (did I kill the owl?). Have just been repeating the same phrases ever since. What next? Recommendations please 🙏 #langsky

Does everyone have rectangular Instagram photos on their feed now? Or is anyone stuck on squares still like me?

On the 20th anniversary of the #BoxingDaytsunami, which killed 225,000 people across 14 countries, I spoke to people in #SriLanka at the time about their experiences then - and hopes for Sri Lanka today. Thank you to those who trusted me to share their stories: citizen-femme.com/2024/12/26/b...

This city is filled with emotion. It’s not just about a new beginning; it’s about dealing with the past. People here say that when they took to the streets [13 years ago], what they wanted was a peaceful change. They wanted democracy. They wanted freedom - Zeina Khodr for @aljazeera.com 💚💚💚 #syria

One day I hope to be able to read some of these books in Arabic. For reference on how long it might be until I can, I am currently reading this… 🤣

Ever wondered what it's like to stay in one of the world's most iconic hotels? I took on the task of finding out. With Rolls Royce transfers, gold cappuccinos and butlers to run hot baths, it was a tough assignment. What can I say, I'll do anything for my craft. citizen-femme.com/2024/12/02/b...

Another Sunday spent writing an article. I always tell myself ‘next week I’ll take a proper weekend’ but somehow never do. Who can relate? Better still, who’s managed to make the changes? #freelancewriter #travelwriter

Would I really be participating in Bluesky without creating a starter pack? I think not! So here’s mine: Greece Travel Media - gathering #travelwriters and #PR pros based in or visiting/writing about #Greece often. We’re very few right now but hopefully will gather as we go 🇬🇷 go.bsky.app/7ubeV6T

"In the 1950s, Mykonos was a very different island. A place where barter deals – cheese for coffee, sausages for spaghetti – were the way of life. In 1979, George Daktylides became its third hotelier." Loved speaking to family-run Greek hoteliers for this Centurion piece, my first for the magazine.

Possibly my favourite account I’ve found here (sorry, all). And one of the first I followed when I joined. Pleased to be back a year later and seeing these again

My first job out of uni was on the editorial travel desk at BSkyB (now Sky UK). The handles on this app ([email protected]) keep making me think everyone is an old colleague! Photo of me on the job in Mombasa, Kenya - in 2010!

Ummm hi again! Back after a year-long hiatus. It seems like it’s time. First a quick (algo) intro: I’m a travel writer and editor from the UK but currently based in Athens, Greece. Previously lived in Mumbai, India and Dubai, UAE. Love hotels, art, design and eating. Am learning Arabic (slowly).

Hope this list is shareable. My travel tribe is taking a while to find itself on Bluesky, but I've come with an initial list of travel writers, editors, bloggers and website owners. I'm sure I've left some out, so let me know. bsky.app/profile/did:...
