Amanda Smith

I’m an Australian journalist and cultural correspondent. Two years of playing continent hopscotch led me to the world’s sleepless, cultural melting pot: New York City. Today, I split my time between New York and my hometown, Adelaide, in Australia. My words, however, find a home all over the world – in publications, newspapers and brands across Australia, America, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Asia. I’ve been published in as VICE, News Corp, Travel + Leisure, Food & Wine, Singapore Airlines (SilverKris), Metro UK, and Underpinned. I report on culture + society, travel, immigration, LGBTQ+, and freelancing. A keen observer of humans, societies and nations, my words challenge perceptions and bridge cultures. I ignite new ways of thinking and give voice to those who don’t have the words. With gentle strokes of poeticism, wrapped in a conversational ‘I’m talking to you’ style, my words explore what’s unsaid and unearth the stories that need to be told.
