James Fisher is the Digital Commissioning Editor of Country Life. He also specialises in motoring content for the website and in print. Born in the USA, he moved to a barn in Suffolk when he was 10 years old, which is when he first saw a cow and fell in love with the countryside. After studying economics at Newcastle University, he decided to travel the world. After the success of his blog, he then foolishly decided to make a living out of writing. He has worked full-time at Country Life since 2016 and has written extensively on the countryside, travel, motoring and property. He lives in Bermondsey, London, with his partner Annabel and a large-white cat called Ted. He also hosts the Country Life Podcast, which you should absolutely listen to.
