Fran currently lives in Melbourne, Australia. She has travelled to 61 countries but aims to visit over 190. Her life is travelling and caring for babies as a Nanny and Neonatal Nurse. By her own admission she's a terrible redhead with a penchant for quirky data collecting. Her favourite motto being "Curiosity killed the cat, but INFORMATION brought him back." She loves ancient ruins and drains, hates dusting, loves going behind the scenes, can't smile in photos and detests selfie sticks. In her younger days she wanted to be an actress, an astronaut, a youth hostel owner, a department store owner, and a writer. When she was ten she wrote in her diary, "Tonight I vow I will get a story published at some stage before I die." She has now fulfilled this vow.
