ADVENTURERS

WRITERS. STORYTELLERS.

ABOUT US
WRITERS. STORYTELLERS.

Hypervigilant former journalists, with just a touch of anxiety — well, perhaps more than just a touch. But we still like to explore and experiment — we'll often get burnt for our efforts. But it sure makes for some colourful writing.

IF YOU KNEW US...

TENESHIA NAIDOO

​​

She started out as an idealistic journalist in South Africa. And when that idealism waned, she moved to the Middle East and dabbled in everything content-related.

 

From conference producer to podcast host — she has worn many hats. But her favourite thing to be called is still: writer.​ She now channels what little idealism stubbornly lingers on into her writing.

DAVINA RAISINGHANI

She's been a reporter. She has worked sleepless shifts at a newspaper, a news channel, and paddled up the murky waters of public relations. She has interviewed celebrities, written about film, lifestyle, property markets and smart cities.

 

But nowadays, she's all about sustainability — how it affects the Middle East and beyond.​ Rest of the time, she can be found tinkering away at a second draft of a first book.
