Description
Liv Hambrett is the Editor in Chief of Trespass. She has a weakness for the Scandinavian pop scene, doughnuts, and escapism (among many other things). She routinely pours cups of tea and forgets about them, buys international glossy magazines even though they highlight her fashion, fiscal and physical shortcomings and has lost count of how many perfumes she owns. This doesn't stop her from buying more. One day, she will write a bestselling book, turn it into an award winning screenplay, and retire to a villa (or yacht, she's not fussy) in the Mediterranean, to live out the rest of her days in sundrenched peace. If you lose her, look under a pile of books, scrap paper and empty tea cups, or check her bank statements for any recent, rash plane-ticket purchases. Don't try and call her, she's probably lost her phone.

  • When should we stop travelling? Settle down. Grow up. Begin ‘real life’. 25? 30? The ages by which we are supposed to have those yardsticks with which we measure conventional success, tucked safely under our arms. A partner, a steady job, a loan, property. Our...

  • Santorini can be a strange place. Perhaps it’s something to do with living so close to a volcano – the energy begins to send people slightly mad after a while. Here in Perissa, the village in which I live, people are wonderfully odd and after...
