Magdalena VandenBerg

Born in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand to Dutch immigrant parents. Making the move across the pond, the bright lights of Sydney dazzled. It wasn't long before I'd fallen in love with the city and began the climb up the advertising and marketing ladder.

A friend suggested I try for Qantas as a Flight Attendant. The next five years were spent living out of suitcase offering a hearty meal of chicken or beef. A flying contract to live and work in Italy came up and I accepted without any hesitation.

Retiring the hostie uniform it wasn't long before I began working in entertainment for live music promoters and ultimately scoring the best job in the world at Cirque du Soleil.

Tired of people telling me that I "always use too many words," I've finally found my happy place. Writing.

Minnie Moo's my cat. I'm his personal door opener.
