Australian freelance writer and editor Andrea Black has been a regular visitor to Los Angeles since she was a child. In the past 15 years she has spent quality time every year exploring the city. At first, she found the sprawling city overwhelming but has since discovered the key to this metropolis: exploring one precinct at a time. Specialising in travel writing as it relates to design, architecture and music, Andrea's work has been published in magazines and newspapers from The New York Times Magazine to Better Homes and Gardens. She regularly contributes to Traveller in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age, The Weekend Australian and Escape. She worked as an editor of magazines before going freelance, giving her more time to visit Los Angeles and discover new precincts of this endlessly fascinating city.
