I’m not entirely sure how I landed the gig of TDF’s resident travel writer, but I’m certainly not complaining about it!

Emiko Davies is an Australian foodie, Italo-phile (is that a word?) author and photographer, based in Florence. The popular blogger has written two cookbooks on Italian cuisine (Florentine: The True Cuisine of Florence and Acquacotta) and is currently working on her third, due for release next year!

Having written extensively for titles including Conde Nast Traveler, Gourmet Traveller, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Jamie Magazine, Delicious and more… we’re PRETTY CHUFFED today, to feature Emiko’s mini-guide to Florence.

She’ll also be back in the not-too-distant-future, for a month-long stint sharing authentic Italian recipes for our weekly food column. Bring. It. On!

When Josh Jessup and Matt Moss moved from Sydney to Melbourne in February of this year, they had 30 followers on TikTok. Now, just a few months later, the couple have a following more than 117,000 people strong and have amassed over 4.6 million likes… and counting!

But social media is just one facet of their exuberant creative output. From their vibrant apartment in Melbourne’s CBD, the pair run Matt and Josh Design – the homewares label under which they sell their distinctive handmade art pieces. From geometric candles that reveal a technicolour lava once they’ve melted, to modular ceiling mobiles, their pieces are whimsical, fun and totally original. Just like their home!
