ABOUT

Tov-TasmanPic-Smaller.jpg

My journalism career started in Guadalajara, Mexico, where I survived a bus accident caused by an under-caffeinated conductor and a near drowning provoked by my own stupidity. Since then, I've reported on failing schools in Mississippi, political assassinations in Colombia and the future of the Great Barrier Reef.

I believe my dog has a secret social life, and people who recline on planes should be incarcerated. I've been known to carry an emergency stash of chocolate, and, if you ask nicely, I’ll probably share.
