Micaela Marini Higgs, About Me Photo.jpg

With a background in cultural research and art, I'm That Person who reads every label at a museum. Sometimes, I'm the person who's writing them.

I'm the former Lonely Planet writer for Bangkok, currently enjoying the bilingual benefits of living in Madrid. 

Whether I'm writing about art for The New York Times, crafting content for the Lonely Planet, or researching the legacy of bodice rippers for Racked, I love sharing the fascinating stories and small histories that shape our everyday lives.

I offer readers value-driven work that not only explains what something is, but why they should care. My clients include museums, brands, and luxury guides. I've crafted market research reports for major companies like Netflix and Kellogg, written content for concierge travel apps, and given Michelin exclusive peeks into Thai food traditions.

I'm also very good at giving restaurant recommendations. 

In my off hours I read and cut up old magazines, using the imagery and ideas of the past to make collages that address conversations about today's world. I've had two solo exhibitions and have contributed to group shows in Bangkok.
