Cindy-Lou Dale | Writer, Reporter & Photojournalist

Being a fulltime writer gives me license to exercise my mind fully and freely. Writing is an art form which needs far more than just a pen. It takes preparation, patience, perseverance and a creative mind that sees ideas as clearly as splashes of vivid colour. But most of all, it takes passion, a passion to reach beyond the boundaries of imagination.

As an award winning writer, photojournalist and reporter I create non-fiction for a variety of publications around the world, providing compelling portrayals of current affairs discussing such matters as African politics, the plight of old age pensioners, society's need for prostitution and new-age philanthropy. I expose factual details of heinous crimes, interview celebrities and question the existence of God.

When I turn my pen and compass to travel writing I go beyond being strongly evocative of place and tell of the idiosyncrasies of cultures and the wonder of a destination, speaking to the very soul of travel. There's a certain frisson of expectation in my script, a texture you'll feel of the places and people I describe and their essential diversity, their distinctive look and flavour.
