Based in Auckland, New Zealand and writing about travel, beer and food.
Most recently in the UK/Ireland (June 2024), Japan (October 2024) and New Zealand (November 2024). Travelling soon to the Solomon Islands (February 2025), Oregon (March 2025) and Spain/Portugal/Morocco (September 2025).
Equally at home jumping on public transport in Sumatra or southern Vietnam or hunting down the best craft beer in Portland or Perth, I’m one of Australasia’s most versatile and experienced travel writers.
Since 2006, I’ve honed my craft full-time, embarking on more than 50 guidebook research gigs for Lonely Planet, and also partnering with adventure travel companies and regional and national tourist organisations for coverage in leading publications on both sides of the Tasman.
As an independent freelancer, I’m can deliver articles across a wide range of high-circulation media.
For travel editors I can guarantee stories that are insightful, informative, authoritative and authentic. I’ve never missed a deadline and my copy needs minimal editing.
I can often travel at short notice so please get in touch if you’re keen to highlight a destination or experience to well-travelled Kiwis and Australians.
