I'm an award-winning author, travel writer, and speaker with a penchant for nature, adventure and experiential travel. I contribute to publications such as Escape, Explore, Traveller, Australian Traveller, International Traveller, Caravan World, Great Walks, Australian Geographic Adventure, Vacations & Travel, NZ Herald and more.
Though I'm an experienced hiker, scuba diver and paddler, I'm equally comfortable in luxury as I am in a tent. It's the process of discovery that drives me.
A 3,000km hike down the length of New Zealand was the turning point that saw me shift careers from the corporate world to adventure and writing, resulting in the memoir 'Bewildered' (Best Travel Book at 2021 ASTW Awards) and leading to a 2,400km solo kayak journey down the length of the Murray River. My book "Ultimate Walks & Hikes Australia" was shortlisted for Best Travel Book in 2024 and many of my stories have also been shortlisted for awards.
I am also a speaker on courage and resilience, and MC for Adventure Reels who present the Banff Mountain Film Festival, Gutsy Girls Film Tour, Radical Reels, Ocean Film Festival and Top Dog.
Memberships include the Australian Society of Travel Writers and the Adventure Travel Trade Association.
