I'm a freelance travel journalist and photographer. For the past ten years, I've produced both written and photographic work for an extensive list of clientele. I've had work published on and in 9Travel, Australian Hotelier, Australian Traveller, Broadsheet (and the Broadsheet Travel Book), Connect to Country, delicious, Escape, Get Lost, Hurtigruten Magazine, International Traveller, NZ Herald, RAC WA, SBS Food, and Virgin Australia. A born and bred West Australian, I'm an expert on the subject matter. But I now live in Stavanger, Norway, so you could also say I'm also an expert on all things Norge. When I'm not in front of the computer or busy dreaming up my next adventure, you can find me curled up with an arrow word magazine or true crime read, talking to the bartenders about all things booze, or recharging by the ocean.
