Freelance Blogging
The Girls Guide to being on SafariFreelance Blogging
May. 2014 - Mar. 2022Victoria Falls, ZimbabweThis is a blog that I would like to grow into a webpage. It is a part-time interest as I travel on safari extensively with my husband, Mike Myers who is a wildlife photographer. The Girls Guide to being on Safari is being written to help any woman who is thinking about travelling to Africa on safari. The usual lists given appear so daunting that it is easier to get some idea in a more conversational way. So far, it has been very well received.
