Need an article about walking?
An adventure writer?
Then this is the place!



I am passionate about the great outdoors and love writing about active travel in Australia and around the world.  My interests don't stop there though; an appetite for different cuisines, history, wildlife encounters, dance, textiles and the world's many wonders and vagaries
inspire my travels and colour my writing.

NEWS FLASH:
 

Just back from treading chestnut-strewn foot trails
between white towns in the Alpujarras,
the folded foothills of Spain's Sierra Nevada.
Also explored Senegal and The Ghambia:
a sensory overload of colours, smells and sounds.
