Originally from Brisbane, Australia, I am a writer, photographer, content creator and travel designer based in Kutaisi, Georgia.

I am the creator of Wander-Lush, the internet’s most comprehensive resource on travel in Tbilisi and Georgia, the author of The Tbilisi City Guide (2024), and the co-author of the Digital Nomad Guide to Tbilisi (2022). I also offer an itinerary planning service and consult on travel design.

As a freelance writer and photographer, my work has appeared in National Geographic, TIME Magazine, Postcards, Wanderlust, Forbes Travel Guide, CNN Arabic, and elsewhere.

I hold a Master's degree in Communication for Social Change and a Bachelor's degree in Art and Design History, and Journalism. Prior to relocating to Georgia in 2020, I worked in custom publishing in Australia for six years (including as the Assistant Editor of Peppermint Magazine), and worked with NGOs and INGOs in Timor-Leste, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam for three years.
