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 and writes about her favourite hotels and interiors for VOGUE, The Times LUXX, Cabana, YOLO Journal, Homes & Gardens, and others. If you can't reach Chloe, she's likely road-tripping around the Scottish Highlands & Islands with her faithful hound Humphrey.
