A S H L E Y M I L N, Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Ashley Miln, is a freelance travel and lifestyle writer and a luxury lifestyle PR with 12 years’ experience working with some of the world’s biggest consumer lifestyle brands across travel, luxury, food and drink and beauty.
A dual US and UK citizen (Ashley's a Midwest girl from Minnesota now living in London), Ashley founded Destination Delicious in October 2014 to share the fabulous finds she’s discovered both in London and abroad. Ashley’s idea of a great destination is anywhere that she can feel the sun on her face (she doesn't like the cold thanks to her time spent in Minnesota), while indulging in sensational local cuisine and a cheeky glass of vino. She has a soft spot for Italy (she has been 13 times to date) and New Zealand (her husband is from Auckland). When she’s not writing or travelling, she can be found eating good cheese or relaxing with a magazine - usually simultaneously.
Freelance travel writing published articles : The Sun, Good Things Magazine
Editorial remit: Ashley is the first point of contact for all press trips for Destination Delicious and all content for the news section of the site. She also writes reviews and features on: Hotels, destinations, restaurants, spa and beauty, and books.

Jack of all trades Laurel has been a contributor to Destination Delicious since early 2016, writing about everything and anything from the best travel-friendly fashion and beauty buys to London’s hottest new restaurants and the best spa getaways from across the globe.
Spending her teenage years in Belgium allowed for summers of European exploration, while having family in South Africa - somewhere she’ll be visiting for the fourth time next year - fuelled her love of international travel from an early age. When not eating her way around London, Laurel can be found indulging in a bit of spa therapy, teaching sewing classes, watching a musical or singing in one of London’s biggest choirs.

Sydney-born, London-based Sarah has worked in print and online journalism for over 10 years, writing on subjects ranging from food and travel to weddings and parenting.
She's partial to a luxury hotel and a G&T, and finds anything health or wellness related irresistible. Immersing herself in new destinations and discovering new things about familiar ones is what she loves best, but when at home, she's happiest messing about with food, flowers and random craft projects.
Editorial remit: Destination features, luxury hotel reviews
