Rick Jordan

Born in Edinburgh, Rick spent his early years in Sierra Leone, but his memories of these are a little fuzzy. Much clearer are his two decades at Condé Nast Traveller. He’s now freelance, and his adventures have taken him from Scotland to Antarctica. For Rick, travel is about hearing people’s lived experiences – and eat some really great food.
