6848017-M.jpgA Fulbright teaching exchange to Scotland in the early nineties ignited a passionate and insatiable curiosity about the world, meeting new people, and experiencing the unknown.

It was a life-changing adventure that led me to, six years later, at the age of 35, with no qualifications other than a traveler’s eye and a knack for telling a tale, to trade teaching and mathematics for writing and photography. In 1998, I took the plunge, and co-founded (together with my husband) the freelance agency International Media Group,today a respected travel writing and photography source for magazines, newspapers and guidebooks.

In the decade since that intrepid decision, I’ve turned passion into profession and continue to criss-cross the globe committed to creating vivid photography and compelling story-telling designed to inspire readers to pick up and go and live the adventure firsthand.
