ABOUT ME

Born in South Africa, I grew up in Australia and after 7 years of life in the UK; I have just recently returned to Australia.

2012 saw me wandering, eating, dancing and writing my way through South America and South East Asia.

I'm an avid reader, have always travelled, was once a rower, I love to run, words make me buzz, I'm a chilled soul (especially when there's a glass of Malbec in hand), I dabble in travel writing, I wish I spoke Spanish and danced better; and I'd live by the sea any day.

Someone once asked me "if you could swim in a plunge pool of substance...what would it be"?
The answer - Dulce De Leche for sure!

As a happy-go-lucky kinda gal (with a small shy streak to me sometimes), I enjoy meeting folk from all walks of life, experiencing new sites, sounds and thrills.

PHILOSOPHY

"Here be dragons..."
