About Lucy

I have traveled to, written about, and worked in some 30 countries. I was born in Wales in the United Kingdom, have lived all over the UK, in southern California (three years), and Spain (seven years) and have spent extended time in Mexico (the Yukatan), Panama, Costa Rica and Ecuador. I currently live in south west France with my husband and two children. 

My portfolio of articles focuses on travel, outdoor pursuits and sport. Please click here to view online articles or here for articles in print. I am an AWAI (American Writers & Artists Inc) trained writer and thoroughly recommend their Ultimate Travel Writer's Program to get you started (or re-started!). I am also a member of The International Travel Writers & Photographers Alliance (ITWPA).

As well as writing about sport I also practice it; I have competed for the Great Britain Triathlon Age Group Team (25-29), and much later on in life in the Catalunya (spain) Sprint Circuit (2nd place, 2007). I am currently focusing my 'efforts' on the local cyclosportifs in south west France...how could I resist with the towering Pyrenees and famous cols in the near distance! I am passionate about optimal nutrition and healthy eating; I have been a vegetarian for 30 years and have raised two healthy vegetarian children.

My articles about 'Families Living Overseas' also appear on Examiner.com
