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 icing.
I joined TM because it’s one of the best places that the travel world gathers; writers, PRs, tourism boards, operators, all swapping ideas and opportunities. For me, it’s less about “networking” in the stiff sense and more about finding the right people: the ones who love the industry, share leads, and spark story ideas, maybe over a glass of something.
