Travel has been my passion both professionally and personally for much of my life; travelling multiple times across 29 countries and working in seven countries. After being employed in the UK-based travel industry, I relocated to Australia in 1998 and morphed into a full-time freelance travel and lifestyle writer/ editor, based for 19 straight years in Vietnam and Indonesia. I’ve written for countless international magazines, newspapers and websites and updated numerous travel guidebooks; I'm author of two, first edition travel guides on Vietnam. I've been personally invited to contribute to several travel anthologies, as guest lecturer for a US-based CEO delegation tour of Vietnam, international judge for the AsiaSpa Awards and guest speaker on two podcasts.
I've undertaken extensive copywriting work for a diverse portfolio of companies across Asia Pacific and contract positions in Southeast Asia offices. These include helping to set-up, launch and jointly run a new tourist magazine for the state-run V.N.A.T in Hanoi as chief reporter / editorial consultant and senior marketing content writer / editor for an upscale tour operator in Ho Chi Minh City. My niche genre is luxury travel and specialist destinations, Vietnam and Indonesia.
After relocating from Vietnam back to Sydney in 2021, I’ve been employed in full-time, travel content writer positions for luxury cruise tour operators and am now open to new opportunities suited to my seasoned career skills and experience.
