From a family that travels so often it feels a part of the DNA that somehow ended up with an introverted scaredy cat who managed to get up the courage to move far across the world. Swapping rural country sides for large cities to mountainside villages and now currently back in a city. I love to travel with a good book in my bag, try delicious food and am always writing.
