I have a passion for travel and a zest for writing. I am a freelance travel writer who has scaled the pyramids in Egypt, discovered abandoned kingdoms in India and endured some of Australia's most dangerous rapids in Cairns. So join me, the creative nomad, as I share my love of writing and travel for all to enjoy. From write ups to articles, I hope that my work inspires all those who read it to do what ever it is they love most.

6 Days and Counting: Egypt The Land of Pharaohs
I have this vision of myself. 2003, October a hot Egyptian morning. I'm standing on the Giza Plateau in front of some of the worlds most magnificent structures ever built, it's our last day in Egypt and I feel this inner sadness, I don't want to go home.
Never in my WILDEST dreams would I imagine visiting one of the most sought after seven wonders of the world twice in a life time. Never in my WILDEST dreams would I imagine sailing down the Nile, watching the sun set and thinking 'I wonder if I'll ever make it back here again?'
Well, here I go again. Egypt, the beginning of creation and the land of the Pharaohs. I am really excited for the trip, we leave in six days, this Monday May 13Th, and even though I have been there before I don't know what to expect this time around. All I do know is this, Egypt is such a vast and mysterious country, to think you could explore the beauty of the land during one trip, I will tell you this, 'You're fooling yourself!'
