❊ Writing & Living Creatively ❊
Never happier than when nestled in nature with notepad and pen as my constant companions, I have spent the past twenty+ years living a nomadic life. Travelling the world solo writing for a guide, and then with my little family wandering by narrowboat and campervan—and currently our yurt—throughout the UK and Europe, over the years I have embraced many temporary homes: mountain cottages, woodland cabins, olive grove quintas, seaside retreats. Currently we live a simplistic outdoor life in the Highlands of Scotland.
Words about these journeys have appeared in numerous magazines and as of 2021 I am slowly and organically working on a non-fiction book, Unbound: Tales from the Gypsy Life.
As well as travel and nature-inspired words about my own life, my fictional short stories and poetry have been published in magazines & anthologies, and even won competitions. My educational resources are used in schools around the world, and I was overjoyed recently to partner with a dear Portuguese friend to create an activity book for vegetarian and vegan children.
Some of my favourite work, though, is that which I do within the greater community. As a youth befriender I have helped inspire kids towards brighter futures, and as a long-time Home Educator I have led many groups within our social network. I also support homeschool families on-line as a Brave Writer Coach. I believe nurturing self-belief and positivity through creativity is one way to ensure a contented and compassionate future for us all.
