Writing is part of what makes me, me. It’s literally in my DNA.

Currently writing:

  • A memoir about loss, travel, adventure and rebuilding a life from the inside out.

  • Regular contributor to NZ Hunter magazine, NZ’s leading outdoor publication.

  • On Substack, I share part personal story, part guidebook, always with a hearty dose of adventure and real talk.
