I'm a Cape Town-based print and SEO-savvy travel journalist, copywriter and guidebook author. My travels have taken me to over 50 countries across five continents to write on topics ranging from sustainability and conservation to environmental issues, land rehabilitation and agriculture, as well as history, culture and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. I've sat down to interview conservationists, environmental lawyers, luxury lodge owners and interior designers, as well as internationally-acclaimed artists and human rights activists along the road. My work has also seen me work as a ghostwriter on behalf of individuals in the travel trade but not only. I've contributed to two international (Fodor's) guidebooks on Africa and have been published in over 65 local and international publications, including BBC, The Telegraph, Financial Mail Travel, Sawubona and Culture Trip, among others. I strive to tell authentic, first-person narratives based on in-depth interviews, research and my personal experiences, combined with my passion for storytelling as well as landscape and destination photography.

For the past four years, I've had a weekly travel feature on Talk Radio 702 which is based on my travel adventures chronicles on my blog.
