ABOUT ALICIA
Writer. Storyeller. Explorer of Culture & Connection.
Hello! I'm Alicia.
I’m a traveler, nomad, and storyteller drawn to the world’s wildest landscapes and oldest cultures. A global citizen at heart, I seek journeys and narratives that help me learn, unlearn, and give back. Mindfulness is my compass for a life lived with intention.
Raised as a third-culture kid across three continents, I’ve been mostly on the move ever since. These days, I split my time between the Pacific Northwest, East Africa, and South Asia (and of course plenty of places in between). My curiosity inspires my writing and photography, encouraging me to slow down, step outside my comfort zone, and find magic in the everyday.
Travel has been one of my greatest teachers and continues to shape my work in creative communications. I specialize in two fields: humanitarian response and post-conflict development, and immersive and regenerative tourism that honors both culture and the environment.
​
My work spans outdoor adventure, food history, wildlife conservation, and displacement. I have partnered with NGOs focused on gender equality and economic development, refugee camps, conservation initiatives, eco-lodges and regenerative hotels, tourism boards, chefs, and both print and digital publications.
​
Alongside freelance journalism and copywriting, I'm writing a kids' book series and a collection of stories from refugee communities. Like most creatives, my ideas and interests evolve-- lately into Substack verticals, podcast concepts, and action-based storytelling platforms.
