About me:

Like most Aussies, well travelled and keen for more. Have stopped drinking quite as much as my compatriates. Have tried training guide dog puppies, all failed - am now the proud owner of one chocoloate, one blonde and one black labrador! I met the love of my life online, and - no kidding - we are far from ugly! I love going to bed late. Love talking and typing - mostly at the same time. Not keen on hitting the back button by accident and losing the whole page ; )

I'm fired up on:

Surfing, involving my friends in cooking huge dinners, involving my friends in causes such as the environment, global health, volunteer work, writing journals on travel and people, doodling on notepads.

Tunes I rock out to:

Jazz, classical, Ausstralian Rock, English R&B, many things people recommend. Anything with a beautiful beat and a beautiful voice.

Travel style:

A shack on the beach with nothing but good waves and beautiful weather, trekking a mountain, diving unknown reefs, skiing good slopes, five star one day, backpacker the next. Any which way!

Quote:

If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home. ~James Michener

Sports I do:

Surf, swim, yoga, run, cycle, scuba dive.

Favorite books:

"The Historian" Elizabeth Kostova, anything Bill Bryson, "Istanbul" Orhan Pamuk, "Maharinis" Lucy Moore, anything Paul theroux and so many more.

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Locals with passion for their home country / city.

I want to make a difference by:

Thinking of the world and the future before myself and the now. Getting as may people involved as possible in caring for the planet and it's people.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Enough Italian, French and Spanish to make my way around.

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I have met someone who has shown me something I would never have discovered alone.

Why I travel:

To see, taste, smell, touch and hear! All about extending the boundaries, learning about more than my own backyard and sharing other peoples views and lives. Seeing many pretty things...

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Waking up the sound of the ocan lapping against our beach hut in Tranquility Bay, Vanuatu to watch the sunrise between the islands.

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Lake Michigan, Chicago - red summer sunset over the citys' amazing architectural skyline.

Before I die I'd like to:

Do more than would fit in a lifetime. But seeing Macchu Pichu and the Patagonian Lakes would have to be top of the list.

Let's collaborate:

I'm an Australian based travel writer with much travel experience, a great interest in photography, architecture, food and wine. Am looking for publication possibly interested in an Australian contributor for local country wide articles.
