On inspiring others, dopamine and being gross

I caught up with my good friend Danielle this weekend. Dani and I have a long history that began when she unexpectedly slid into my DMs in 2018 as an Instagrammer who felt some connection to what I shared. She asked me to visit her at the Eco Hostel she was working at in Hvar […]

Oh universe, you wily trickster

This week something crazy occurred to me. Like, mind-bending, the universe is a trickster, cuckoo-crazy. I want to share it with you. But first, the context part. Last year I shared a very vulnerable story on Instagram. I titled it 2022 and kept it in my highlights reel if you want the full backstory. It […]

More contrived nonsense ;)

Last fortnight when I sent out my very first email, I shared that I would be writing from the heart, not overthinking or planning my emails and that I would be writing without selling anything as I’m not currently in business.

A Reintroduction

Welcome to the third blog post I’ve ever written.  My first, published in March 2018, was a comprehensive introduction to me and my work. I wrote it because my web developer made me do it to populate my shiny new website.  My second, published in December 2019, declared my intention to write more blogs. Given […]

Why I don’t blog, and why you shouldn’t either

Bear with me, this is going to seem convoluted. Back in 2012, I was gearing up to become the ‘Instagram girl.’ On the advice of an industry professional, I was going in strong, and I was going in niche. What set me apart? Instagram. What was I going to focus on? Instagram. No other platform […]

From chef to travel photographer: my story

To say that I have an interesting career is an understatement. In fact, what I do is so unusual that there’s not an exact definition for it. Hence the reason for this, my first ever blog post.   Like any story there’s a beginning, and my beginning was humble. I was born and raised on […]
