About Dawn

As a frequent flyer who solo travels globally, Dawn enjoys both the excitement of going to new places and using technology to support her travels. She’s taken up photography classes to improve how she captures her journeys.

 

She is an active online shopper, however she does worry about spending too much online, as overspending is easier online.
