Louise is somewhat a veteran of the travel industry, bitten by the bug at an early age (her first trip abroad wasn’t until 12 years old and by 15 she was working at a tour operator). With a love for adrenaline-fuelled activities, offbeat events and hidden gems, she’s written for a wide range of publications (starting in 2002) and has had many of her photographs published. Among other adventures, she has held her breath in a shark cage in South Africa, canoed down the Zambezi alongside crocodiles, volunteered at a ‘bonanza castle’ in Canada, practiced yoga in the rice paddies of Bali and fired at shooting ranges in California.
