Background

About Jillian Dara

I am a freelance journalist focused on sharing stories in the travel and lifestyle genre; particularly food, wine (WSET 2), spirits and culture. I have contributed features, profiles and listicles for publications including Forbes, Travel + Leisure, USA Today, Lonely Planet, Robb Report, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, MICHELIN Guides, VinePair, SommTV, SommJournal, Men's Journal, Shape Magazine, Inside Hook, DuJour, Hemispheres, Elite Traveler, NetJets Magazine, Observer.com, Boston.com and more. My editorial positions at Electrify Magazine, Scene Magazine and I Love Chile News were eye-opening managerial opportunities that permitted me to assist in honing other writer’s skills, something I very much enjoyed, as well as the responsibility of maintaining the operations and reputations of both publications. This is why I also still fact-check, copywrite and ghostwrite on the side.
