| Alicia SHEBER Travel Writer +44 (0)79.8248.9187 [email protected] |  | Alicia’s travel writing career springs from earlier passions, including the interior design of international hotels and restaurants for studios in Denver, Colorado, and London, as well as numerous years selling wine, which sparked her interest in gastronomy. Upon receiving her MBA from a French ‘école du commerce’, she wrote the ‘Going Out’ chapter of Dubai-based Explorer Publishing’s The Complete Residents’ Guide to Paris, which entailed visiting restaurants, cafés, bars and nightclubs across all 20 arrondissements and recommending the best ones for readers. Alicia gained her dual US/UK nationality whilst working in a London studio providing marketing services for Europe’s top hospitality designers, architects and trade shows. Six years ago, she launched her ghostwriting business, Read Thread, and simultaneously focused on journalism and copywriting. Formerly the international editor of Boutique Design magazine, she has also been a contributing editor for HOTELS magazine, writes regularly for Hospitality Design, and has been published in Starboard, Travel Ticket, Hospitality Interiors, SPACE, BEAST, and Hotel Investment Today, amongst others. She has also moderated conference panels in NYC, LA and London and judged awards competitions. Alicia is currently a British Guild of Travel Writers’ board member and was previously on the US and UK boards of NEWH (Network of Executive Women in Hospitality), a global charity raising scholarship funds for hospitality design students. She loves working with non-native English speakers, recently helping translate books about Ukrainian cultural conservation through modern interpretations of traditional crafts. Alicia strives to cover ESG topics in every article she writes. |
