Freelance writer Jessica Colley covers cuisine, culture, the arts, and experiential travel. Her articles have appeared online, in print, and in guidebooks. Recent work has been published in the Toronto Star, New York Magazine, and Postcards Magazine. With a background in hotels and luxury travel, Jessica is also a contributor to Jetsetter and Luxury Travel Magazine.
Currently based in New York City, Jessica called Dublin home from 2008 – 2010 and writes frequently about the unsung stories of life in Ireland’s capital city and across the Emerald Isle.
Jessica covers travel in Europe — from cycling in the Aran Islands to getting her hands dirty in Germany’s Riesling harvest — for EuroCheapo, Jauntsetter, and EuropeUpClose. She also reviews restaurants in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Clean Plates, writes about culinary getaways for Luxury Travel Magazine, and interviews chefs for her “Writer in the Kitchen” series.
Jessica has worked as an editor, copywriter, blogger, and in the fields of poetry and literature. Beyond New York City and Dublin, she has lived in Miami, Savannah, Berlin, Oxford, and the Campania region of Italy — but loves having a cappuccino somewhere new.
Jessica shares the inside scoop on her travels, both past and present, on her blog: the Great American Travel Dream.
