Among the few who still revel in the art of pen to paper, I often find inspiration while travelling solo with an undisciplined itinerary. I’ve been a writer for over a decade, telling stories about people, places and products. My adventures have acquainted me with riding the rails, getting off track, and losing my train of thought – all of which add a unique pixie dust to my work. I love a book that reads like a movie, an endless subscription to vanilla lattes, and all things Tarantino.
