Chloe Frost-Smith
Thanks to her nomadic childhood in the Far East, Chloe Frost-Smith's first travel memories are filled with tuk-tuks, water buffalo, and paddy fields. Happiest when barefoot or on horseback, Chloe is a country girl at heart and often daydreams about ranch life in the American West. She's currently based in Edinburgh as Swoon's Editor-in-Chief, while writing about her favourite hotels and interiors for various luxury brands. If you can't reach Chloe, she's likely road-tripping around the Scottish Highlands & Islands with her faithful hound Humphrey.
