PORTFOLIO
Hi there!
I’m Sydney Boyd, a freelance journalist based in London covering travel, lifestyle, culture, and news. I report on the stories, experiences, and trends that shape the way people live and explore the world — from weekend escapes in Europe to in-depth features and breaking news.
My work spans digital and print, from long-form features to social video, often exploring environmental issues, sustainability, and emerging digital trends. I bring context, creativity, and a Gen-Z perspective to both lifestyle and news stories.
