“By the age of 14 I MUST BE A PUBLISHED WRITER.” 9-year-old Anna in her diary.

It took me until the age of 28 to realise my childhood dream. I moved to Lyon, France to sample every cheese in l’Hexagone write about travel and outdoor adventures. Sometimes I go for very long walks, recently including 580km solo along the Armenian Transcaucasian Trail, the GR20, the Tour des Écrins and the Tour du Mont Pourri.

My other ‘dream jobs’ of farmer, personal trainer & winning an Oscar for my performance as Lucy in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe are as yet unfulfilled.
