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 bungy jumping out of a perfectly sound building, all  in the name of research to sate travel clients and readers in their lust for adventure.  Oh, I also managed to squeeze in almost 30,000 nautical miles of ocean passaging across the Asia/Pacific region.

Along the way I've learnt an enormous amount about travel, and travel writing, 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.
