Born in New York, raised in Virginia and the Isle of Man, Hannah was never destined to stay in one place. After studying fine art at university she moved to New York to pursue a career in magazine art direction but decided after a couple of years the tropics were calling. She moved to Bali in 2005 to teach art and English to primary school kids. She now lives in a village in Bali with her husband and 2 children… and 20 other family members. Freelance writing, translating, and blogging keeps her busy.
