Sinéad Cranna
London Staff Writer
Sinéad grew up in London, but a three-year attempt at van life saw her travelling all over the city and country before she remembered that she is, in fact, very high maintenance and loves a bath. During that time of not bathing (she was showering), she worked as a travel writer, visiting Venice to review hotels and Ireland to write guides for Condé Nast Traveller. When she’s not writing, Sinéad spends most of her time eating tacos and explaining that she is not named after the Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor.
