Yazar: Diana Balham

Diana Balham has worked as a writer and editor in New Zealand for more than 25 years and has had the good fortune of being able to include travel writing in the mix for a good proportion of that time. Born and raised in Wellington, she grew up in an intrepid family of nature-loving explorers so her passion for travel and the outdoors was more or less a foregone conclusion. Diana now lives on the spectacular west coast of Auckland with her ridiculously fearless hiking, rock-climbing, paragliding husband and their equally adventurous young son.From her home in the South Island of NZ, Kate Fraser has pursued a career in words, initially as a copy director in advertising agencies, followed by the freelance years as a lifestyle journalist, followed in turn by a number of years as a section editor for The Press and restaurant reviewer for Cuisine magazine. Kate’s awards for her work include two Qantas awards, and Culinary Quills from the Foodwriters Guild. Her work has been published in newspapers and magazines and she is an occasional contributor to Radio New Zealand. She has travelled extensively and has visited ( and eaten well) in well-known as well yet-to-be-discovered places. Kate resides in Christchurch, Canterbury, NZ
