Good content writing is a dying trend...
I was born in Zimbabwe during the height of the bush war. Having emigrated to Argentina, Italy, South Africa and eventually the United Kingdom I was fortunate to have experienced a variety of cultures. I have also been fortunate enough to have travelled across 13 African countries for business, pleasure, sports - specifically white-water rafting, as well as volunteered for a number of charity organisations.
Having worked as an automation specialist, project manager and a consultant, all of which demanded a fair amount of writing. Whether it was writing a technical manual, financial report, tender proposal or a blog, writing has been my number one interest.
I eventually realised that I enjoyed writing more than the actual titles I carried. I had to, of course, grow the beard to match. I have written a number of articles on political climates, travel stories and encounters that I experienced on the African continent
Since then, I ended up as... a writer, I guess. Well, it was enough to warrant me to have my own busy blog which comprises of topics related to this weird and wonderful life.
When I am not constructing a blog piece, I ghostwrite, which I must admit, is not my favourite, as you don't get to enjoy the credits, but I do at least get to enjoy compiling a good piece, I especially love the research that comes with it.
I have a bit of nerd in me, hence why I could pick up software languages easily enough and became an advocate for Linux platforms.

I don't have strict working conditions, as long as deadlines are reasonable, and it's not content milling, then I am happy. If it needs research, I am happier!
