Sophia Auld is a freelance writer and editor living on the Sunshine Coast with her husband, two daughters, and a dog named D’Jango. Growing up with a dad who worked for Qantas was the catalyst for her love of travel. Sophia especially enjoys encounters with wildlife. Moments like swimming with humpback whales and diving with grey nurse sharks have been some of her highlights, as was a six-month Aussie adventure with her family. She hopes to swim with whale sharks one day, and to visit Africa.
