Based in Paphos, Cyprus, where she lives in the middle of an olive grove, Carole is often asked to write on the fabulous countries in ‘hopping’ distance of the island. For example, she has written or updated guides to Greece and the Greek Islands, to Egypt, Jordan, Dubai, Jerusalem and the Holy Lands, the Middle East and the city of Istanbul.

Carole also writes extensively on Cyprus, itself, for articles and travel guides. The most recent guides she has worked on have been the DK Eyewitness Guide Cyprus and the DK Top 10 Cyprus for Dorling Kindersley, AA Publishing’s Spiral Cyprus and Thomas Cook’s Traveller Cyprus. She is editor of a Cyprus-based publication and consults on Anglo-Cypriot projects.

Carole ‘commutes’ to her second home in her native Essex, close to the border with London in the UK. From here she writes on the capital and county, along with destinations throughout the UK and Europe. She has spent lots of time in two of her favourite UK cities, Bath and Cambridge, for projects, and visited European countries including Malta, the Benelux Countries, Italy and Sicily, Germany, Spain and France, including her absolute favourite city of Paris where she once lived.

Carole is a bit of a restless soul and her travels take her further afield, too. Her most recent jaunts have been to Thailand and Jamaica, with return trips to the US, Hong Kong, Australia and the Caribbean islands (no doubt among others) firmly on the agenda.
