Welcome to shandypockets

My name is Paul Oswell, and I'm a freelance writer and award-winning travel journalist.

Publications: The Guardian, The Evening Standard, The Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, The Dublin Tribune, Ireland on Sunday, The Press Association, Time Out, Red, The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Luxury Travel Magazine and Eurotraveller Magazine. I am Deputy Editor of Wizzit, the inflight magazine for Wizz Air, and a regular contributor to Conference and Incentive Travel Magazine and Travelmail.co.uk.

Music news: Last year, I was part of the chorus for the opera Tobias and the Angel, which ran at the Young Vic Theatre from October 11th-21st. This year I performed tenor in the chorus for Koanga, which ran at Sadlers Wells Theatre from 12th-14th April. Thanks to all who came to support. An original cast recording of Tobias and the Angel should be available early next year.
