I'm Charlie Bellamy. Sub steward for New Zealand within the travel channel, which I'm really excited about.

I'm living in Chicago in the USA at present, but am a born and bred British citizen, from the Cotswolds, UK. I'm a stay home mum to my three year old son.

I have a real passion for my family,traveling, horses (riding and driving), love wines from around the world and being out in the outdoors.

I love traveling and have decided to mix my love of traveling with an enjoyment of writing now my son is at play school a couple of days a week.

Since I left school I have worked in New Zealand, Norway and France (milking cows in each). I have visited France, Switzerland, Africa, Canadian Rockies, Australia, Grand Canyon (Arizona), Monument valley (Utah), Bangkok, Bali & Singapore, Greece and Russia.

I have a degree in Agriculture and love being outside with animals, walking the countryside with my dog and seeing the seasons change around me.

I'm looking forward to writing some articles and getting travel writing experience. Also looking at other's writing to gain experience in writing styles that are easy, enjoyable and informative to read.

Why I write ...

I am passionate about travel and i love to express this to others in a way that may be valuable to them.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My best moment ...

Holding my son for the first time.

My inspiration ...

Comes from all that i have achieved so far in my life and my husband who backs me on any aspirations i have (such as travel writing)
