Publications

As content creators, I’m a travel writer and Jason is an adventure travel, landscape, commercial and wildlife photographer and filmmaker.

My writing covers the outdoor arena, 4WD overlanding and motorcycle travel, which can comprise anything from an adventure story, advisory piece, opinion piece, product review from the field, Top Tens and the deep captions for Jason’s imagery for our socials or a photo essay, for instance.

As an advocate for women riders, I also engage in product development and consult with manufacturers of motorcycle apparel. I dabble in motorcycle journalism, which coupled with the above, gives me the creative outlet I want and need. I’m not sure if I ride to write or write to ride–I think it’s both.
