Since two years I am a full time travel and lifestyle writer and blogger. I published several articles and blogs on www.intheknowtraveler.com. and on www.gonomad.com, a magazine I particulalrly like. I have recently taken up photography to complement my travel articles. I love travel, history, modern art and exercise, particularly swimming and kick boxing. I have lived in Germany, Spain, the UK and Southafrica and now divide my time between Miami and Turkey. Recently I have published a Guide to Galicia as well as a novel, set in my favorite town Istanbul in Turkey. It's a romantic thriller with the title: Sweet Revenge. Please see also my blog dedicated to thesinglewomantraveler.
