Hello! My name is Asia (yes, London is my real middle name) and I'm a trilingual journalist from Rome, Italy and currently an updates writer at Travel + Leisure. I love reading and writing about anything to do with history and travel (but also food, art, culture, and just about anything else). I've been lucky to visit some 30 countries, and even luckier to visit many many of these countries more than once.

My articles tend to focus on stories with a strong cultural and historical undertone. I’m especially drawn to individuals and communities preserving historic practices and traditions, and try to focus my efforts on uncovering their stories. 

I obtained my master’s degree in magazine journalism and digital storytelling at New York University (NYU) in December 2022. In May 2020, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts) with a BA in journalism and history.
