About The Northernist

The Northernist is a Teesside-based blogger, who loves nothing more than shouting about the local area through food, lifestyle and events. The aim of The Northernist is to champion the North East, with a particular focus on Teesside, to challenge the negative views of the region. With posts on Teesside food, events and lifestyle, it’s a haven for both Teessiders and tourists to find somewhere new to try or to book in their next day out.

If this sounds like something that your brand or business could align with, please take a look at the ‘work with me’ page.

About Olivia

I’m Olivia and I’m a thirty-something Smoggie. I was born and raised in Stockton, spent the best part of my teens and twenties living in Middlesbrough, and now I’m settled in Norton. I’m passionate about the whole area and will defend it to the death, which is something that I emulate through The Northernist.

When I’m not tip-tapping away on here or grafting at my marketing day job, you can find me reading, stitching or furiously video editing.
