She is the author of three Australian boating guide books published by New Holland & is currently researching for her next book on iconic train journeys around the world. She's got a sassy memoir on a slow burn too: 'One woman's online dating journey into the South Pacific takes a side trip into international cyber crime'.

When not chasing a story or travelling the globe she's probably running a marathon, hiking a mountain or sailing into a tropical sunset blissfully disconnected from deadlines. She's rather partial to mountains & mojitos, highlands & islands.
