Portfolio ~ In Search of a Life Less Ordinary

Travel, a curious nature, and a love of foreign cultures have always been dominant forces in my life. Writing has been the other key ingredient.

From coursework to career, time spent in the private sector and in government, writing has been a constant. As such, my business and personal writing experience covers a wide and diverse spectrum, including corporate, government, newspapers, magazines, blogs and websites.

I write for a range of print and online publications, including the Telegraph in the UK, on expat and travel-related topics (lifestyle, finance, property).

If you want me to guest post on your blog or you want to use me as a writer, send me an email and I'll be happy to talk with you about your requirements.

More examples of my published work can be found at my website here.
