Eileen Smith

Eileen Smith is a Brooklyn-born expat living in Santiago, Chile since 2004. She writes about travel, culture, food and wine and is motivated by themes of connection, belonging and place. She loves essays most of all, and one of her favorites is published in Modern Loss (2018). She has written stories for NPR's The Salt, Monocle, Robb Report, Fodor's, Tales of the Cocktail and many others. She speaks native-like Spanish and has traveled extensively in the Americas. Eileen is currently also seeking representation for a memoir about living to be older than her father, a book that is ultimately about finding home.
