Susan is obsessed with the stories of those ancient people who have come be known as Vikings. Fascinated by how our understanding of those wild Norse men and women of medieval times is always evolving, she is a constant student of this area of pre-history. She is on a mission to bring the stories of the ancients alive, and is always working on unusual and entertaining ways to achieve this

Having lived in South East Asia for over 15 years - in Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia - Susan has tales to tell and unusual insights into daily life in South East Asia. From the history of Manila to the feng shui of Hong Kong, she loves to talk about this part of the world, so dear to her.
