I write in-depth feature journalism, focussed primarily on activism and creative subcultures around the world.

I’m passionate about presenting counter-narratives, engaging new voices and sharing alternative perspectives on global events. If we want to create a better world, we need to start telling better stories. So keep reading. Before moving to Athens, I was Staff Writer at Huck Magazine in London for three years.

Important B'nai B'rith International Mission in Solidarity With Israel
B'nai B'rith International Vice President for Latin America David Djemal reflects on the organization's solidarity mission to Israel, emphasizing the importance of standing with Jewish brothers and sisters. The mission, led by CEO Dan Mariaschin and organized by World Center-Jerusalem Director Alan Schneider, included international representatives who met with civil and military authorities, diplomats, and families affected by the conflict. The delegation's message underscores unwavering support for Israel, both financially and emotionally, and a commitment to Israel's victory and deterrence against enemies such as Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. The organization, celebrating its 180th anniversary, also contemplates addressing modern anti-Semitism through its historical focus on philanthropy, combating anti-Semitism, and supporting Israel.

They are sharing their harrowing experience in Latin America with the support of B'nai B'rith Argentina, similar to Holocaust survivors recounting their stories.

Ikaria: The Greek Island of Freedom Amidst Financial Crisis
Journalist Alex King explores the Greek island of Ikaria, which has become a refuge for young Greeks amidst a severe financial crisis in the European Union. The island is described as a 'hippie' haven where time is fluid and social norms are relaxed. King's journey leads him to Angelos Kalokairinos, an authority on Ikaria's history, who speaks about the island as a place where freedom is sought and a different way of life is possible. The article paints Ikaria as an escape from the harsh realities faced by the youth in Greece, offering a sense of community and an alternative lifestyle.
