There's the craft and there's the skill...
but the true art of writing
– the kind that captures its readers –
arises from the writer's soul
and an innate passion
about the subject matter.
My Expertise
Travel & TourismFrom vivid descriptions that transport one's imagination to factual things-to-do, here's story-telling that stirs emotion, captivates and inspires! Writing as a passion and as a profession emerged in my life while I was travelling through India some twenty years ago, so no surprise this subject matter remains my deepest inspiration.
|
Health & WellnessFrom health-care products to wellness services, if it's good for them, let's let them know about it! Another of my deepest passions (I also have another life as a holistic therapist), any opportunity to inform, educate and inspire readers towards greater self-care, fitness, health and well-being is more than a pleasure in my world.
|
Lifestyle & SpiritualityAren't people plain interesting? Everyone has a unique story that can inspire others, and that's why interviews are so cool. Zoom out to take an antropological look at a particular culture, and education and amusement are guaranteed by its unique quirks. Since spirituality is part of the human make-up, I love to explore that too!
|
Malta & GozoAfter a decade spent globetrotting, my return to the rock where I was born and raised brought fresh eyes that see all that usually goes unnoticed or taken forgranted. This curious outlook, coupled with a natural familiarity and love for my island home, is what makes me so good at writing articles all about Malta and Gozo!
|
History & MysteryThe Maltese Islands are lands of rich history and unphatomable mysteries. The more curious I became about the clues unravelling its 7,000-year story, the more questions emerged about the Islands' enigmatic past. Any article on these topics is an excuse to satiate this thirst for stripping Malta's own story naked to the bones.
|
Nature & SustainabilityA natural offshoot from my fascination about the nature of humans and the lands that host them is an intrigue about the natural environment and how to co-exist efficiently and sustainably. Together, we can fulfil the urgency to create a sustainable future for humans in harmony with earth, sea, creature and tree.
