New Zealand Editor | Urban List
Molly loves nothing more than eating, drinking, travelling, or discovering something fun and cool and then writing about it. After eight years living and working in London where her job took her to all corners of the globe, from Antarctica to the Amazon River, she has returned to New Zealand with an insatiable appetite to dig up all the fun and delicious things this country has to offer.
When not editing or writing, you'll find Molly spending a small mortgage at her local wine bar, spending a second small mortgage at her local coffee shop, walking along the waterfront, or arguing with a stranger about Auckland's best pie.
