Patricia Deavoll

I am currently the editor of a community paper in a small ski resort town in the South Island of New Zealand. I also write freelance for an agricultural publication and for a number of outdoor magazines. My passion is mountaineering and rock climbing, which i do to a high level, and which involves me in alot of travel. I love to write about my mountaineering expericences in countries like Pakistan and Tibet, and offer information to other climbers and travellers on what to expect in these places. I have a blog site which has accounts of my expeditions.

I have a degree in English and Russian literature, and reading is another of my loves. I often write reviews of books, in particular recently published English novels, for magazines and newspapers.

I also love movies, and would like to write reviews of movies in the future.
