Travel Writer | Cultural Storyteller | Slow Luxury Specialist
I’m Larch Gauld, an award-winning travel writer and photographer behind The Silver Nomad, specialising in immersive, culturally rich travel for the mature traveller.
From tracking desert elephants in Namibia and exploring the backwaters of Kerala to discovering Italy’s artisan traditions and reviewing exceptional hotels, my work combines first-hand experience with practical insight and engaging storytelling.
I write for The Silver Nomad as well as national and international publications, working with destinations, tourism boards, hotels and travel brands to create authoritative editorial content and original photography.
