Ever watched a film and immediately felt the urge to book a flight after the final scene? Join the club!
Hi, I’m Jabeen. I’m a British entertainment journalist now based in Los Angeles, with 15+ years’ experience working in high-speed newsrooms including MailOnline, British Glamour, Daily Mail Australia, and TMZ, as well as writing for Yahoo, PopSugar, Stylist, OK!, and more. I’ve spent years covering cinema from the inside – premieres, festivals, interviews – the whole industry machine that brings stories to life. And the underlying thread that’s always tied it all together for me has been travel.
From the snow-covered chill of Sundance to studio backlots and beyond, I’ve been lucky enough to travel extensively – that same feeling mirroring exactly why I got into entertainment in the first place: escapism.
I don’t just fall in love with how films feel, but with how the landscape shapes the story, and lingers long after the credits roll.
Cinephile Tourist grew out of that obsession – a space where cinema and travel come together. So join me as I explore iconic filming locations, cinematic destinations, and the real-world backdrops behind the stories we can’t stop thinking about.
