When my ‘little career break’ morphed into two ski seasons in Canada, followed by a year-long backpacking odyssey through Latin America, I could no longer see myself going back to the features desk on a women’s lifestyle magazine. My ‘office’ now ranges from exotic airports to Bedouin tents, Himalayan teahouses to hip co-working spaces. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Between writing for travel titles around the globe and trying to adjust to whatever time zone I’m in, I also run a sustainable travel-focused blog, ecotravelist.com and recently wrote The Solo Travel Handbook, published by Lonely Planet.
