Thirsty for adventure, my globe-trotting bug has lured me to 50 countries across five continents. I have rafted raging rivers in Canada, walked with lions in Zimbabwe, fished for piranhas in the Brazilian Amazon, eyeballed great white sharks in South Africa and hiked amid remote hill tribes in Vietnam, all to satisfy my wanderlust.

Luckily for me, I manage to earn a crust from my addictions and have over 15 years experience as a magazine, newspaper and online travel journo and editor, joining World Travel Guide in 2009.

When I'm not hatching my next trip, my spare time is spent juggling motherhood with my love for cooking, eating out, running, countryside hikes and summer picnics.

Discovering new places and cultures is what I love most about travel. I've travelled to about 30 countries and next on my list are South East Asia and Central America. Some of my favourite experiences so far: trekking up a volcano in Panama (27km of it!) and seeing two oceans at once when I reached the top; sleeping in a temple and praying with monks in Japan; sipping mojitos while getting to know the locals in Cuba; and whale-watching in Massachusetts.

Another passion of mine is food and drink. I love Japanese food, cocktails and wine. Some of my favourite foodie destinations include Bordeaux (fantastic wine, cheese and duck), Osaka (best okonomiyaki and takoyaki) and Istria, Croatia (think truffles, black-ink risottos and delicious gelato ice cream).

I joined World Travel Guide in 2009 as a Commissioning Editor for the city guides and am now in charge of Special Projects which include producing custom-written travel content for a range of companies.

Commissioning Editor

Travelling has been a passion of mine from an early age and New Zealand, Peru and Italy are among my favourite destinations. Some of my most memorable experiences include bungee jumping in Queenstown, a homestay on an island in Lake Titicaca, and watching the sun set over Florence from the hillside town of Fiesole with a glass of Chianti and a steaming bowl of fresh pasta.

My main passions other than travel are sport, food and photography. As a consequence, if I’m not in a restaurant trying weird and wonderful foods such as alpaca or possum, or getting carried away snapping the main sights, I’ll probably be found at the local sports stadium watching the latest action.

I've been Commissioning Editor at World Travel Guide since early 2011.

I've travelled all over and had some incredible experiences - favourites include trekking through the lush green hills of Chang Mai, playing netball in the shadow of Table Mountain, dolphin-spotting on the Italian Riviera, and fighting off the dung beetles during an electrical storm in India's Thar desert (ok, maybe not so much a favourite as an indelible memory).

Beyond travel, my interests also include vintage fashion, food and culture – you can always find me rummaging in the markets, be they flea or foodie, and checking out the latest exhibition to roll into town.

With over four years' experience working in online media and magazines, I've been at World Travel Guide since early 2011 and last year received the runner-up award in the Best Online Article category at the Italian State Tourist board awards.
