Sofia Linde
Destination Editor
Sofia Linde is a Swedish-Brazilian journalist who has spent the last twelve years covering cultural travel across Latin America, Japan, and Southern Europe. Before joining The Travel Club's editorial desk, she was a staff writer at Monocle and a contributor to AFAR, The Financial Times, and Kinfolk.
Her specialty is destination deep-dives — the kind of 5,000-word neighborhood profile that travel media rarely commissions anymore. Her Tokyo, Oaxaca, and Lisbon reporting has been cited in The New York Times and featured on the Louis Vuitton City Guide series.
Sofia holds dual citizenship, speaks Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and conversational Japanese, and has visited 82 countries at the time of writing. She's based in São Paulo and Lisbon depending on the season.
