GEMMA ASKHAM

  JOURNALIST | WRITER | EDITOR

In 14 years as a journalist, my official duties have included commissioning features, running the lifestyle desk of a newspaper supplement and working as a beauty editor. Unofficially, that means I’ve exposed everything dining in a naked restaurant, test-driven a 4x4 through a Thai monsoon and travelled 12,000 miles to meet a Hollywood actress for 15 minutes.

 

In 2017, following stints in London and Sydney, I booked a three-day trip to Barcelona and ‘accidentally’ (ok, 100% intentionally) bought a 1900s apartment on day two. Cue: a relocation, a renovation, and the dream base for roaming Europe. When I’m not in Departures or walking my dog, Diego, you'll find my name in renowned UK and international titles, covering travel, lifestyle, health and fitness.

Glamour, Condé Nast Traveler, British Airways High Life, The Guardian, GQ, Elle, Women’s Health, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, The Times, You magazine, BBC, BURO., Mr & Mrs Smith, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, Boots Health & Beauty, Top Santé, N by Norwegian, Singapore Airlines, Brussels Airlines, AskMen.com, Fabulous, You & Your Wedding, Square Meal, FashionBeans, Cosmopolitan Bride, Mamamia, Cleo.
