The traveller.
The storyteller.
Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — and words have been part of my working life for more than 25 years.
I'm a writer, photographer and communications specialist who loves connecting with people, hearing their stories and finding ways to share them.

Travel is in my blood.
I moved to Singapore when I was four and spent years travelling through Asia, the UK and Europe with my family. Back in New Zealand, school holidays became road trips around the country before we headed back to Singapore when I was fourteen.
At 21 came my first OE — and the travelling never really stopped. I've since travelled to every continent, and have scuba dived in Antarctica, the Galápagos, Egypt, the Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia.
I've danced in full costume at Rio Mardi Gras, crossed oceans and deserts, and accumulated more stories than I could possibly fit in one suitcase.
Singapore
Childhood adventures began here.
New Zealand
Home — and a lifetime of holidays exploring it.
The OE
The first big solo step into the wider world.
Every continent
From Antarctica to Africa, Asia to Russia, Europe and beyond.
Words are how I connect.
I've worked in communications for more than 25 years. The part I love most is connecting with people, hearing their stories and helping share them — often with a wider organisation.
Whether I'm creating my own work or helping someone else shape theirs, I believe good storytelling starts with listening.
Julz Trappitt is the brand. JT Communications is the business behind it.
