    I've written a piece, a personal piece, a piece that I honed and edited and re-worked until I felt proud of it. Now, when I read it through, it makes my heart sing - so am I happy?

    “What’s your niche?” It’s a question every blogger faces. Now I wouldn’t say I’m claustrophobic, but I find being catalogued creatively limiting. If you take into account my change of name, change of religion, change of country, amalgamation of culture, I think you’ll agree I’m kinda difficult to pin down...

    Travel illusion: The awkward African diptych [VID] | Matador Network. A thought provoking piece for all the expat bloggers and travel-writers out there.
