Originally from New Zealand, I spent eleven years living in Melbourne before moving to Sydney in 1993. Realising a career as a fashion-footwear buyer did not combine well with two young children, I returned to writing and have been freelancing since 1998.
I now concentrate on writing about travel, from weekends away to longer vacations, relaxing getaways to adventure holidays, both with my family and on my own.
I take pride in producing articles that inform, entertain and inspire and my work is regularly published in newspapers and magazines in Australia and overseas, as well as online.
I am a member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers, the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association, New Zealand Travel Communicators (Travcom), The Australian Journalists’ Association, Australian Society of Authors and the Society of Women Writers (NSW).
In 2008 I was a finalist in the Australian Society of Travel Writers’ Travel Writer of the Year Award in the Australian story under 1000 words category.
