ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Georgia Howe has been an avid writer since the age of eleven when her poem ‘The Stone Turtle’ was featured in a poetry anthology to showcase the best young literary talent in the West Midlands. The book was published as part of the Young Writers’ 17th Annual Poetry Competition.

Georgia was born in Hemel Hempstead but has since travelled extensively throughout the UK and abroad. Time spent living in Saudi Arabia and South Africa during her childhood inspired a passion for travel and adventure. Returning to the UK only furthered her desire to explore, with many beautiful summers spent hiking in the Herefordshire countryside, camping on a family friend’s farm in Ireland, and helping to run copper repousse workshops at festivals across the country.

After living in Herefordshire since her return to England, Georgia made the difficult decision to leave her family and friends behind for a new adventure. In 2019, she moved on to a traditional narrowboat and began continuously cruising the inland waterways. It was during her travels that Georgia started to document the journey in the form of vlogs and launched ‘The Liveaboard Family’ YouTube channel.

She has since featured on television and local radio, with her story being picked up by BBC Midlands Today, BBC Hereford & Worcester and BBC West Midlands radio station. Her writing and photography has also been featured in one of the UK’s leading waterways publications called Waterways World magazine.
