FeetFirst's Profile

Freelance Travel Writer & Photographer

What a question! Ethiopia, Spain, and the Australian outback.

Cricket (to watch, not play). And test matches especially. What's commonly called a cricket tragic.

At least once a month

Take me somewhere I can't plug in my hairdryer!

Have danced for 30 years - Colonial Dancing (Australian) and Irish set dancing mostly, but also Scottish Country Dancing, Contra Dancing (northeast USA), and just bopping to good old rock 'n' roll. Also love bushwalking, and have recently discovered the joy, albeit sometimes with a bit of pain, of overnight hikes, and camping out among snow gums. Love it!

Tim Winton's Cloudstreet, Angela's Ashes, Lord of the Rings, Wilbur Smith and detective novels.

Beatles, Crowded House, Johnny Clegg (the White Zulu), Alison Krauss, Bruce Springsteen and too many more to list ... depends on my mood.

Eat local food to really taste a country - forget the McDonald's and banana pancakes.

I'm one of the few women in Melbourne, Australia, who doesn't wear black. Instead I have a wardrobe full of colour and a swash of orange through my hair. I am creative, fun-loving and adventurous - within reason, which doesn't include bungy jumping!
