Jessica Talbot

I was born in New Zealand. When I finished my Master's degree and a post graduate in clinical psychology at Otago University I moved across the sea to Melbourne.

After working at a child and adolescent mental health service in Melbourne, for seven years, I needed a big change in life.

A strange prediction, from ten years before, pushed me into motion and I flew to Peru to work with street kids.

The adventure that turned into a book began in the lofty Andes of Peru - with a tattoo and an Argentine surfer!

I have been living and working in Buenos Aires for the last ten years.

It is a fascinating and complicated home that I share with my wonderful husband and son.
