Eleanor Hughes

Traveller / Storyteller

Eleanor is a New Zealander who wrote children's fiction, then took up freelance travel writing to justify long overlanding travels through South and Central America. A relaxing holiday is not for her; she enjoys discovering, new adventures and a few challenges along the way. When not writing or travelling overseas she's exploring her own country, cycling or hiking New Zealand’s Great Rides and Walks, playing hockey or running.
