Yvonne’s recent travel adventures in Europe include exploring the Elaphiti islands in Croatia, sailing the Amalfi coast on a tall ship, making pancakes with a Lapp reindeer herder in the Arctic and tasting ‘green’ wine which was carried to Dublin by sailing ship (right).

When not writing or travelling, Yvonne can often be found harnessing the power of the wind or the waves, either sailing on Ireland’s east coast or surfing in the northwest.
