I am Jacqui Latimer. I used to be Jacqui Zurcher, but a ring, a husband and a failed attempt at name-retaining feminism changed all that.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa and work as a freelance writer and photographer. Meeting interesting and inspiring people, exploring out-of-the-way places and greedily consuming food and wine are my passions. Describing how I indulge these passions in words and pictures is what I like to call work.

This website is an advertisement of sorts of my various skills. It's pretty self-promotional. I enjoyed putting it together. Browse the various sections to sample the fruits of my labours and find out how someone who completed a BSc Hons in computer science became a writer.

If you are interested in working with me, give me a call or send an email.
