Angie has been an international outdoor adventure and travel journalist for 20 years, writing, editing and photographing for print and digital publications around the world. She was an early pioneer of sustainable surf travel and social commentary, introducing such concepts to the Japanese surf magazine industry, with one memorable trip exploring India’s newfound west coast surf culture, including a spotlight on India’s first female surfer, all published as a 26-page cover feature for BLUE Magazine in 2009.

Angie has documented the rise of female surfing in Papua New Guinea and how wave riding is curbing domestic violence amongst coastal communities. She has Coasted Through Colombia as a single mum with two kids. She has interviewed world champion surfers, surf pioneers, innovators, writers and filmmakers. Surfed the world’s (arguably) longest left-hander in Peru. Swam with Giant Manta in Indonesia and sharks in West Papua. Nurtured orphaned elephants with East Africa’s first female elephant keeper. Studied local futuring in Ladakh. Canoed great waterways in Quebec. Walked through neolithic memory places in Bretagne. Sailed from France to San Sebastian (and is planning much more sailing). Treks regularly with the family and dog in the French Pyrenees. Angie has traveled to every continent on the Planet except Antarctica (yet).

She is particularly interested in the themes of community-owned and managed sustainable and responsible tourism that aims towards humans and wildlife thriving together, travel anthropology (especially food), place making, and traditional ecological knowledge.

Her adventure and travel works have been published in The Australian, Yahoo!7, Australian Geographic, Nourish Magazine, BLUE Magazine, White Horses Magazine, Surfing Life Magazine Japan, Surfing World Magazine Japan, World Nomads, Thrive Global, Daily Addict, and many more, and she has partnered with numerous travel and outdoor brands including Patagonia, TOMS, United By Blue, Banyan Tree, Inkaterra, Shangri-La and many more.

Angie also co-wrote and co-edited the first ever English-language surfing guide to Japan with publisher Outdoor Japan.

In 2017, Angie took off across Asia with her young family, attempting to overland from India to Japan using no planes and no plastics, via the Nepali Himalayas. She is currently writing a book about this epic adventure and comparing notes from her parents’ diaries of their own overland trip across Asia some 41 years earlier.
