Daniel Sheppard

Content Writer UK, London

Originally from Slovenia but currently based in London, Daniel has been writing ever since he earned a gold star for an essay about autumn in primary school. He has since expanded his repertoire to cover everything from politics and daily news to music and dining, while also venturing into the ever-evolving world of social media marketing. Having worked for national media outlets, the European Commission, a major concert venue, and various other clients where food was of secondary importance, he now fully embraces the Big Smoke's vibrant culinary scene, putting his writing talents to use as a content creator at Thatsup.

He still tends to wax poetic when the leaves begin to change colour, though.
