Fleur Kinson is a freelance journalist based in Oxford, England. She spent part of her childhood in America, and has spent the last fifteen years travelling round continental Europe whenever possible - especially Italy, a country on which she has accidentally become a bit of an expert. Fleur has degrees in English Literature and English-Language Linguistics, and used to work for the Oxford English Dictionary.

But it's all worth it to see somewhere new. She regularly writes about Italian travel, property and food for various magazines.
