About Debbie Stowe

Debbie is a British author, travel writer, and freelance journalist. A graduate of University College London, and City University, where she studied Periodical Journalism, she is the author of around twenty books. Her many travel guides, for Thomas Cook Publishing, run from the Maldives to Manchester to Mediterranean Cruising. Other published books cover entertainment, celebrity, and the natural world. She also writes on human rights, economics, film, and restaurants. Her work has appeared, in print and online, in British and international publications including The Telegraph, The Times, The Independent, the London Evening Standard, Gay Times, and Dreamscapes (Canada). Debbie is also a contributor to various Romania-based media outlets, including Time Out Bucharest and Business Review, in which she has a monthly column about expat life in the country. She lives in Bucharest with her Romanian partner and their son. Debbie credits her appetite for travel to her parents, who journeyed extensively across Europe (including behind the Iron Curtain) and the Middle East in the 1970s. In her childhood, the family lived for a period in the Yemen. She got back on the road after graduating from university, backpacking in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the US, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil. She also worked in Austin, Texas, for a summer. Since moving to Romania, she has travelled around Eastern Europe for work and leisure, including Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Moldova, and Turkey. When based at home, she enjoys books, movies, Italian food, playing darts, football, late nights and lie-ins, political arguments, ranting against Brexit, and procrastination.
