Jane N. Hughes here and I’m starting this blog to share about different things. I have been writing manuscripts for sometimes but never published them. Originally from Kenya but live in Melbourne Australia, I still call Kenya home even though I have not lived there for years. Australia is home too. I am just lucky to have two homes which I adore. One which provided me with the identity and moulded me the person I am today and Australia is my other home which I adore and love so much.
I’m a story teller and enjoy writing about life experiences, my family have lived and travelled extensively in different countries sharing a lot of different cultures from different areas. My first book Bad Timing South America (Mis)adventures 2020 came about events which occurred when we were on our lifetime dream vacation and it is this book which has given me the confidence to publish it. It has been a journey which I’m enjoying.
