About me


 Born in Cape Town, still in Cape Town. I did no sports at school and my dream since I was little was to become an interior designer.

After one year of Interior Design 1 at Cape Tech, I bailed midway and stayed home and worked in the evenings at CNA. Then I decided that Public Relations is the way to go, because according to the counselor, if you loved writing, PR is for you. After 4 years and obtaining my BTech: PR Management I decided I had to quit my part-time job and do the nine-to-five thing. I then spent 12 years at a publishing house working as a travel journalist. It was the best job in the world, but I've since moved on. I then headed into social media and loved it. Now, I'm in marketing. Specifically marketing in tourism, so I haven't drifted far from travel just yet.

I love travelling but hate flying, I eat a lot, I don't mind cooking, I'm not an avid baker and I'll choose vanilla over chocolate cake any day. Oh, and I really, really enjoy watching chick flicks.

I like bull terriers. I don't like cats. I don't mind getting flowers but I don't look after them so rather don't bother. Travel-size things are the best inventions so you'll find a collection of mini things stashed in my cupboard. I love stationery.

I like my coffee black, no sugar. My mother-in-law calls it "ugly coffee". Do you like how I snuck my marital status in there? My two boys keep me super busy - life before kids was a breeze! Now, life is more of a hailstorm - but I'm enjoying the hectic ride.
