a bit about me
My career experience has seen me working with travel, lifestyle and purpose-led brands for more than a decade. But my life experience? That’s taken me all over the world in pursuit of new adventures and new stories to tell.
I’ve travelled, backpacked, camped, glamped and hitchhiked across almost 40 countries. I’ve lived in a leaking hut while volunteering at an animal shelter in Malaysia. I’ve hiked the Himalayas. I’ve called Amsterdam home for a year. I’ve lived off-grid at an eco-camp on a small Croatian island.
It’s safe to say my travel experience goes beyond what’s on my resume.
I write about travel and culture in hopes it will inspire people to explore a different part of the world, or simply see the world a little differently. Some of my favourite stories are featured below.

If brand marketing and performance marketing were people, only one would get invited on the annual ski trip
As every mum has said to their child at one time or another: people remember the way you make them feel. Brand is what makes people feel something, it’s what makes people remember you. And memory matters. A lot.

personal essay:
I keep changing my mind about... everything
For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt vaguely ashamed of how easily and often my mind changes. It’s felt less like flexibility and more like a personality flaw. Like a lack of conviction. Or a lack of certainty in myself.
