My writing has taken me from tracking poachers in South Africa to Buddhist-led calligraphy meditations in remote Zhoushan, China, and many places in between; always with a focus on making connections between people and places. I've eaten many a questionable meal, slept amongst crocodiles and perfected the art of the packing cube. I'm originally from America's Deep South, but Sydney’s been home for 13 years. When I'm not wheels-up, you’ll find me practicing Pilates, kissing dogs or snarfing buttercream (vanilla!) icing.
