South Africa

I love to shape narratives, weave tales, curate destinations, and discover new trails. I can conjure copy and write features, help you forge a fresh identity, or make the most of what you have to offer.
I can sprinkle word magic over your venue and showcase it to the wider world. I’ve had 33 years of media experience with major publications such as the independent newspaper group, media 24, and a variety of local and international magazines.

Discover Bosnia's Secrets

More mountains than Switzerland, tumbling waterfalls, pristine rivers, and one of Europe's last virgin forests make Bosnia-Herzegovina's rugged terrain a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Mostar and Sarajevo offer sobering snapshots of the war. Visoko lays claim to the world's oldest pyramids, while near Konjic you can tour former Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito's massive underground bunker.

Why summer is the coolest time to explore Norway

The land of Vikings, trolls, and rugged natural scenery lends itself to a road trip between June and August when the slow Norwegian sun casts a magic spell over the cinematic landscape of glorious fjords, waterfalls, mountains, forests, remote farmhouses, and wooden churches dating back hundreds of years.

Tsar Attractions

More than 2,800 works take up five floors of the Erarta Museum of Modern Art on Vasilyevsky Island, Russia's largest private gallery. Captivating contemporary pieces offer a glimpse into the hearts of the people, but it's The Hermitage - Europe's greatest art collection in four palaces stretching a mile along the Neva banks - that tourists come from far and wide to explore.

Atacama in Chile

Around 2600-miles north of its Patagonian tail, the Atacaman head of serpentine Chile snakes into Bolivia, Peru, and Argentina. Stripped down to shape and shadow, this desiccated Disneyland lures adventurers, archaeologists, and astronomers alike. From Santiago, take a two-hour flight to the mining town of Calama, where copper freight trains traverse the tracks like rusty centipedes.

Medieval splendour on the Adriatic

Feast your senses on Dubrovnik's city walls, old town, Mount Srd, gourmet restaurants, and buzzing bars. The pine forests, olive groves, and ancient history of Lopud, Koločep, and Sipan ‒ all part of the Elafiti Archipelago ‒ are a short sail away, perfect for day trips or weekend excursions.

Hit the Deck - Cruising The Danube in Style

Stress-free to the nth degree, a river cruise is everything a holiday should be. No big waves, no nausea, just a string of European city tours as the Danube swoons through medieval towns in nine countries, enthralling idle and intrepid explorers alike.

10 smaller private game reserves in South Africa

If geological ages spiraled back like a staircase, Massospondylus fossils would lie on the lowest steps beneath Koi San flintheads and rock paintings, like forgotten toys from Earth's lost childhood. At Samara you can walk over fossilized dinosaur footprints, fondle 250 million-year-old Dicynodont vertebrae; and track cheetah, lion, elephant, giraffe, antelope, and 225 bird species.

Safari, so good! Exploring the Madikwe Reserve & Tau Game Lodge | All4Women

A former cattle region comprising impoverished farmers playing hardscrabble in overgrazed terrain, North West's Madikwe Reserve is something of a miracle. It's not just the density of predator species - lion, cheetah, wild dog, hyena, and crocodile among the 8 000 animals translocated here by Operation Phoenix in the 1990s, it's also the kaleidoscopic birdlife, from giant eagle owls to kori bustards, bee eaters, and crimson-breasted shrikes.
