| Bio | Kia ora, I’m an award-winning New Zealand freelancer based in Wellington, our capital city. I write and vlog about hiking and heritage travel; food and gourmet travel; and luxury and road trip destinations. My travel stories explore topics such as stargazing in New Zealand for BBC Travel, road tripping in Australia’s Blue Mountains for the New Zealand Herald, staying in a luxury lodge in the Cook Islands for LuxeGetaways, and visiting San Juan Island National Historical Park for Heritage New Zealand magazine. In 2023, I was Joint Runner-up in New Zealand’s Voyager Media Awards for travel journalism. 2019, I won the IFWTWA Excellence in Journalism Award for a story on the food and cultural heritage of New Orleans. |
