Laetitia Chanéac-Knight
Laetitia was born in the South of France,
between lavender and sunflower fields. She
was brought up by her grandmother, eating far
too many cakes. Later she studied languages
and linguistics at Montpellier University and
trained as a teacher in England. She taught in
Spain before moving to Hong Kong, where she
met her other half. They travelled extensively,
teaching children in international schools around the world and
settled in Bali for seven years with their two gorgeous little monsters.
She is now dedicated to writing full time and she published the family
guidebook
Bali with Kids
. The children now being a little older, her family
decided to home school them and hit the road again, spending their
time between Nicaragua, France and Indonesia. She's the one to ask if
you would like an organised tour of any of these countries. Her email is
Cheryl Shanahan
Cheryl was born and raised in a small town
outside of Toronto, Canada. Her passion for play
began during her childhood, when she could
easily have been lost in the world of imaginative
play for hours, playing alongside her twin sister or
exploring on adventures outdoors with her older
brother. She moved to Hong Kong eight years ago
and it wasn’t long before she met her husband
on Pottinger Street, shopping for Halloween costumes. They both enjoy
spending every spare minute with their six-month-old son, Jack, and French
bulldog, Lola. Cheryl is an early childhood consultant and play therapist. She
supports families with young children, using play as a tool to engage children
and build relationships. Cheryl works with Central Health Partners child
development team at Southside Family Health Centre.
