Julianna Klose is a writer and communications professional currently based in Manly Beach (Sydney), New South Wales, Australia.

Julianna is a story collector – she’d much rather accumulate stories than stuff. This may come from moving so much. Life has led Julianna and her husband Brad to areas across Australia (Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Manly Beach, Albury) and the United States (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Niagara Falls/Buffalo, Washington DC, Central Pennsylvania). Without a settled geographic base, they love to travel.

While her entries cover a broad range, Julianna has a special love for the natural world, and anything that allows her to experience it. This includes her own backyard; since Julianna is a U.S. citizen working toward her Australian permanent residency, she enjoys a unique perspective on Australian flora, fauna, and cultural experiences. Julianna holds a master of journalism degree from the University of Wollongong, and a bachelor of arts in English and music from Bucknell University. She loves bushwalking and camping, getting lost, photography, weird and wacky wildlife, coffee, and her Catholic faith.
