On a personal note…

  • While travelling is my first love, nothing makes me happier than drams of single-malt, patting dogs, flakey croissants, pistachio cheesecake, and seaside strolls.

  • You’ll usually find me wandering with a camera in one hand and a frothy flat white in the other!

  • You can find out more about my story here.
