After a sordid past involving a career in Nuclear Physics, and after completing her PhD, Jennifer threw caution - and physics - to the winds to follow the cliché expat writing dream. She's a compulsive traveller and has lived in the UK, Hungary, Spain, Germany and Georgia. She's passionate about making up stories, the arts, surrealism, underground culture, dilapidated art nouveau buildings, languages and travel. She's currently writing a guidebook on Budapest and Vienna for Moon Travel Guides, and has published stories with National Geographic Travel, Condé Nast Traveler, BBC Travel, The Independent, The Guardian, among others.
