How did you get into travel
In 2000, I bought a campervan and travelled through Europe for a year. I write a travel diary along the way and the rest is history! When I returned to South Africa, I did a degree in Journalism and have been travel writing ever since!
Mia's unique travel experience
I was lucky enough to get onto a Whaleshark Research program in the Maldives and spend two weeks tracking and studying these magnificent creatures. I stayed on a local island, which was a fantastic experience and really got to know the local people.
