Award-winning travel writer David Atkinson is returning to Wrexham to teach journalism at Glyndwr University.

Atkinson returns to Wrexham to teach journalism
Atkinson
He worked in Japan and Latin America as a freelance journalist and then settled in Chester, where he was commissioned to write the Lonely Planet guide to Wales.

We appreciate the geographical issues with that sentence, but we’re sure the Lonely Planet people know that Chester isn’t in Wales.

Atkinson has written for the Observer, Weekend Financial Times and Wanderlust magazine.

It was for a Wanderlust article that he became joint winner of this year’s Latin American Travel Association Travel Article of the Year award.

He’s also been shortlisted for a number of North West awards.

"It’s a long way from La Paz to Wrexham, but I’m happy to be working back in the town where I was born," explained Atkinson.

"I’m hoping to inspire the new intake of students with both my take on good journalism and with some tales of life on the road as a jobbing travel writer."
