Amy is a freelance writer at Utopia.org. She graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Masters in English Language and then moved to Berlin in 2012, where she has spent a lot of time researching and learning about the city. As someone who loves to experience other people and places, she has been able to benefit from being just a train ride away from some of the most exciting and beautiful places in Europe. She is passionate about food and everything spicy, and ran a pop-up vegan curry stand in a local food market one summer. She likes to develop plant-based recipes and to experiment in the kitchen.
