About Nicole:

Hailing from the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand, Nicole moved to Australia as a teenager with her family. There she went on to pursue her dream of becoming a television journalist and newsreader.

After a decade at Sky News doing just that -- with her husband, James, in 5 Star hotels, he, Nicole (and baby bump) decided to do something akin to Carpe Diem.

A few deep breaths later the couple found themselves in the city that never sleeps, Hong Kong where the trio, which now included blondie Ava, survived and thrived for four years before moving to Xi’an, China, where they lived for 2.5 years.

Nicole, James and Ava are now back in Sydney (for the time being) where she continues to work as Journalist, Writer and Speaker.
