Stringing words • snapping pics • sipping coffee

Wendy O’Dea

Writer, Content Developer, Travel Journalist

I have a passion for travel writing

After backpacking through Europe, receiving a master’s degree from the USC School of Journalism and completing a graduate fellowship in Stockholm, I combined my love of travel and storytelling in a way that feels less like chance and more like fate.

I also write about the food scene

I love crafting culinary stories that explore the narratives behind food, chefs and restaurants—from humble to high-end.

Here’s what else I’m working on

I have a parallel career in communications, including internal communications and PR, primarily for health and medical device clients.
