She did a Ph.D. in Geography at University College, London, focusing on language, identity and sense of place. During this time she presented at over ten international conferences and taught at the Universities of Hawaii and London. An experienced researcher, she taught research methods at postgraduate level at the Open University and her third book is now published by Piatkus/ Little Brown on how to travel, including a chapter on Travelling with Animals.
