Description: Journalist, travel writer, foreign correspondent, Tamara Thiessen covers news and current affairs, travel news, culture and great trips.
I am a strange beast, combining in equal doses travel writing with breaking news coverage. As a news journalist, I’m interested in politics, social issues and the environment. For over two decades I’ve been a freelance foreign correspondent, reporting on breaking news and current affairs in Australia, France, Europe and the EU.
As a travel writer, I cover adventure, nature, culture and the arts, food, wine and design. Green travel and all the issues surrounding sustainable tourism are crucial to me. A global hotel industry correspondent, I write for US publications Hotel News Now and Hospitality Design.
My travel stories appear in the likes of CNN Travel , Lightfoot Travel, World Nomads , Monocle, the Globe&Mail and many others. For papers such as the South China Morning Post , I cover world news, architecture, life and travel. Finally, I am the author of several books including travel guides to Borneo, Switzerland, Barcelona and Rome.
