As a proud Kiwi, I've been exploring and writing about New Zealand and my hometown of Auckland for more 20 years.

I've explored in-depth all parts of the country for Lonely Planet and AFAR, and my NZ and Auckland stories have been featured by Lonely Planet, the BBC, NatGeo Food, and across print and online media in New Zealand and Australia.
