Liz calls her free-lance writing style ‘deeply superficial’ as she enjoys writing about interesting people, places and property. So she loves her main bread and butter job as a real estate writer. Writing takes up about one third of her working week; the rest is spent cycling, skiing, walking, reading and haunting cafes. She loves to travel, and to write about it, but every time it reinforces that she lives in the very best place in the world.
