Jacqui Dunlop – a policy officer from Canberra, Australia – is a keen hiker, wine-drinker, and closet travel writer. Her appetite for globetrotting has seen her mountaineer a 6000 metre peak in Bolivia, study gender relations in Sweden, surf badly in Sri Lanka, ride camels in Iran, and eat deep fried chilli crickets under the Mexican sun. She is happiest on the road with a backpack in good company.
