I’m a writer and teacher from Adelaide. I love travelling, and have spent quite a bit of time adventuring in Europe. I’ve had so many amazing and inspiring experiences that it’s started to make its way into my work, and part of this trip is to write and research a new book, so I’m particularly keen to meet interesting people, experience amazing places, have have a transformative time!
