Nice to meet you

Sophie is a writer and the co-editor of Gut Feelings Zine. Hailing from London but with a passion for wild places, she has spent the last six years using the city as her base while venturing out to discover all the tall, wide and vast natural places the world has to offer. As well as manning the reins at Gut Feelings, she has published travel zines with Pioneers Press, had a regular column in the Saatchi Gallery Magazine on travelling and creating, and runs an Explorers Club for women.

Recently graduating with an MA in Literature, Landscape and Environment, it’s the stories told through landscapes that interest her the most and what can be gained by caring for, exploring and growing an affinity for them. As long as there are stories to tell, she intends to keep discovering and sharing them to insight the same sense of wonder in her fellow travellers.

  • We spoke to numerous travel agents over the period we looked at booking our honeymoon and only hide and seek gave me the confidence I was looking for. Really pleased with our decision.

  • Hide and seek dealt with our last minute travel plans extremely well. Obviously, our accommodations shifted as availability diminished but ultimately they came up with a vacation that we will never forget.
