Nika Talbot | Travel + Culture Writer
Hiya 🤗
I’m an adventurer, writer and mum from the Midlands with 25+ years in media—from local news and lifestyle shows like BBC Masterchef and ITV‘s Wow! to editorial + brand work for Here’s Health, Country Walking, Expedia and Travel Maps Australia.
I was a sex reporter for Scarlet mag and founded Rude, a digital publication for women. 12x book babies on sex, health & lifestyle.
My work explores culture, adventure + solo travel for women. Transformation over tourism. How we balance work and travel, and the healing power of walking – the best vehicle to unleash your creativity (RA Warrior!)
Since 2020, I’ve been publishing and growing Bold Types, recommended by Hotflash Inc. as “a helpful newsletter for the intersection of writing, the digital world and entrepreneurship, which can be a lonely place for many of us.”
Alongside my own writing, I mentor (creator journalism) through the NUJ and City St George’s, University of London, and host a Writers’ Café in Hastings & St Leonards.
If you’d like to collaborate or work together, see my offerings – and join my newsletter!
