About Carrie Evans

Carrie Evans is the author of the memoirs The Fun We Had and Vagabond Soul. A retired English teacher and examiner for Trinity College London, she spent much of her career living and working overseas, teaching in ten countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and New Zealand.

After obtaining a degree in modern languages, she worked briefly as a trilingual secretary in Paris before becoming a city guide and then training as a teacher of English as a foreign language. That decision, followed by an MA in TEFL, led to a varied and rewarding career that combined her love of language, travel and cultural exchange.

The experiences she gathered teaching abroad inspired The Fun We Had, while a lifetime of independent travel through Europe, Asia, North Africa and South America provided the material for Vagabond Soul. Her writing combines humour, honesty and a keen eye for the idiosyncrasies of people and the places they inhabit.

Carrie lives in Hove with her husband and continues to work as an examiner for Trinity College London. When she is not reading or writing, she enjoys searching for antiques and curios, spending time with her extended family and dreaming of her next adventure.
