I’m a traveller, a writer, a marine scientist and a connoisseur of mojitos. I am proudly South African, although I have lived in London, Mumbai and Amsterdam in my quest to see the world. I love Johnny Cash, blustery days, spy novels, Bill Bryson's sense of humour and I think people should be kinder to penguins. I am passionate about conservation in Africa, and lucky enough to live in the best city on earth. I was away for a long time, discovering the hidden corners of the world, but I'm home now, to explore our beautiful continent and fall in love with Cape Town.
