As a freelance travel writer, Susan has published her work in a wide range of journals in the UK, USA, Canada and online, including The Literary Traveler, International Living, Go World Travel, The Traveler, Transitions Abroad and The Canadian Student Traveller. She has also written City and Country Guides for Octopus Travel and the New Book of Knowledge (Scholastic Publishing).

Although Susan has lived and worked in a variety of countries, she has a special affinity for Scandinavia, the sub-Arctic and Arctic. She has travelled extensively in, and written regularly on, Norway, Iceland, Finnish Lapland and the Faroe Islands.

Having been awarded a Churchill Travel Fellowship to journey through Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland in the footsteps of Gudrid, the most intrepid women in Viking history, Susan wrote both a collection of poetry, Creatures of the Intertidal Zone, inspired by her journey, and a series of travel pieces. One of these articles appears in Go Your Own Way (Seal Press), an anthology of exhilarating accounts by solo women travellers the world over.

Susan’s travel literature has also been published in other autobiographical travel anthologies including Even the Rain is Different (Honno), a WH Smith Book of the Month.
