Sophie Hay
Sophie spent her twenties working as a social media strategist for luxury fashion brands in London. In 2023, she swapped social captions for a sunny three-month sabbatical exploring Mexico and Guatemala. While she’d always had the travel bug, this extended trip gave her the push she needed to take her work fully remote. She now freelances as a social media strategist and travel writer, and can be found wherever her nose takes her. Recent adventures include Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Norway, South Africa and the Basque Country—where she hopes to return full-time later this year.
