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 write about the food scene

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

I also work in Corporate Communications

I have a parallel career in communications, including internal communications and PR, primarily (but not exclusively) for health and medical device clients.

Miles walked thinking “it’s not that far!”
