I'm a freelance writer, blogger, editor and coach dividing my time between Playa del Carmen, Mexico and Europe. Former Editor of The Playa Times newspaper, I produce content on travel, food, human interest, culture and communication, coaching and wellness. Challenge me! I love a new area to throw myself into. I'm originally from Ireland, and I've lived, worked and studied in eight countries to date. In addition to native English, I speak Italian fluently and I am proficient in French and Spanish. My photography portfolio is rich with images from North America and Europe. I'm also available for editing assignments and general content creation.
