E.J. Bauer

I was born in Queensland, Australia and lived my first twelve years in the country. My family moved to Brisbane before I started high school and I graduated from university with a degree in speech pathology. I accepted a position at large regional hospital in New South Wales and I still live in the area over 40 years later.
I am happily married, a mother of two, grandmother of five and devoted assistant to one very bossy tortoiseshell cat named Lucy. My career in speech pathology eventually morphed into the totally unrelated field of retail management in a university science centre and planetarium.
Travel has always been a focus and yes – there was always a bucket list. I had many things I intended to do “someday” but that was always in my ha

Carrie Riseley

Carrie grew up in Tasmania, Australia but spent her youth living in Melbourne, Japan and England. She has travelled to 46 countries to date, and kept a travel journal for every single one.

Carrie started doing this when, just before her first travelling experience at age 18, family members gave her an empty notebook to use as a travel journal. Carrie found she loved writing about what she was seeing and experiencing so much that she filled the notebook in only 3 weeks. She bought more notebooks, and just kept going.

Because Carrie's books were written in the moment as she was travelling - or, in the case of her second book Japan Unexpected, while she was living in and fully experiencing the culture of Japan - you'll feel like you were there
