Maria Shollenbarger

I’m excited to be kicking off the year with Maria Shollenbarger, travel editor at the Financial Times’ HTSI magazine. I got to know Maria last year at The Narrative Summit, where she was on a panel that I moderated. Maria has been with the FT now for 17 years and had always dreamed about working as a travel journalist. On Part 1 of our conversation, we unpack her journey traveling and living around the world. Maria has a sophisticated eye, an instinct for what travellers need and want, and we’ll her industry in a lot of depth on Part 2 next week, so stay tuned.Chapters:0:00 Coming up3:53 Early Career in Magazines14:56 Moving to Europe21:37 Life in Singapore25:22 Reflections on an itinerant life This episode is brought to you by:EFG Hermes One: your one app for investing in more than 35 stock markets.
