Come travel
with me as I introduce you to the exciting world of a
creative writer. With qualifications in journalism, travel
and yachting, writing is my passion and my livelihood.
My area of travel writing expertise is Australian travel and
tourism, developed from extensive experience in the
industry.
In fact I'm particularly focused right now on developing the
ultimate travel guide for Australian boaties: The Australian
Marinas Guide, which will be the definitive guide to every
marina in Australia.

Within the travel industry, I've worked at the
forefront of leisure travel, advising first time travellers who weren't
sure if they needed a passport to visit
Tasmania. In the corporate world I've sweated over business traveller
emergencies in the jungle clad mines of South America on the graveyard
shift. I've up sold, cross sold, even over sold, until
I had nothing left to sell in the competitive, commission
based world of retail travel. |

In researching
destinations, I've lost room service crumbs, and indeed, my mini bar
virginity, in the ridiculously starched linen of opulent hotel beds.
I've fallen in love with an Arab guide over a hubbly bubbly
pipe beneath a starry desert sky while researching middle
eastern culture. Trying to overcome a fear of
heights, I've suffered vertiginous paranoia while crawling
across a glass floor hundred of metres above a city. I even once
considered, then quickly dismissed the idea, of jumping out of a
perfectly sound building sans fear, all in the name of
research for travel clients and readers and their lust for
adventures.
Along
the way I've learnt an enormous amount about travel
with all its exhilarating, heart stopping encounters that entice us
to explore the world. As an insightful Travel Writer,
I draw upon this knowledge, plus the idiosyncrasies of
the industry in order to inform and entertain.
But travel and marine writing is not all I do. As an
accomplished writer, with scores of publishing credits, I'm
also a talented commercial Copywriter. I can write text (or
copy) for your website, newsletter or press release,
regardless of the subject. Anything really, that requires
succinct, dynamic text to engage your target audience. |
