Author Bio

My Free Range FamilyNew Zealand FlagNew Zealand

I’m a mum to two little adventure travel kids, and wife to my soul mate. I’m the voice here and in most cases the photographer as well. Travel runs deep through my veins. And it’s no wonder given I’ve lived in Papua New Guinea as a child, Honduras as a teenager and Dubai during my 20’s and 30’s. I’m a wanderluster to the core and always looking forward to the next travel adventure.
