Jess Vincent started writing about travel a few years ago when she went backpacking in South America. It wasn’t long before she scored commissions with the big names and won awards for her words.
Jess has covered South America extensively, penning stories about hiking the Camino Copalita - a little-known trail only a privileged few get to experience in Mexico - and tasting the country's ancient "caviar". Having grown up in Spain, she knows where to find the hidden gems and experience truly authentic food and hospitality.
While she was grounded during lockdown, Jess got her fix by burying her head in the great work of other travel writers, when she came up with the idea of collating all of these stories into one big anthology. And so, with the help of some of the other most-respected names in the world of travel literature, The Best British Travel Writing of the 21st Century was born.
During this episode, Jess talks to Laura about the mammoth task of selecting stories for the book and what makes a great piece of travel writing, as well as reflecting on some of her favourite adventures.
