Sophie Barling
Writer
Sophie Barling caught the travelling bug aged 18 in Ecuador, where she spent five months teaching and exploring. That first trip also seeded a lasting passion for all things Latin, from South America and Spain to the original land of the Latins, Italy. During a four-year Classics degree at Oxford she even attempted, under duress, to speak Latin, with mixed results. Sophie worked at Condé Nast Publications for seven years, and is now a freelance writer specialising in interiors, art and travel; she has been published by magazines including Conde Nast Traveler, Suitcase Magazine, Country Life and Architectural Digest, and is a regular contributor to The World of Interiors.
