Zara Horner
Zara is a true survivor. Born in the ’60s to parents
who smoked, had never heard of seat belts
and believed brandy really was the answer,
she grew up in London in the ’70s, danced to
Wham and Spandau Ballet in the ’80s, and
was fearless enough to go to a university in the north of England despite
being a southerner. Various PR and marketing jobs led her to journalism
more years ago than she cares to remember. Having proved her mettle
in the UK, she moved to Australia in the early '90s, living and working in the
best part: Brisbane. In 2002, she moved to Hong Kong and continued to
work as a journalist, but added personal trainer and fitness instructor to her
qualifications. Zara now splits her year between Hong Kong and Brisbane.
Marie Teather
Marie grew up in a former industrial town in north
England and, after graduating from university,
had a choice: Go home and do what? Or, join
the so-called rat race in London. Instead, she
packed a suitcase and moved to Japan for “just
one year,” which became seven. Following her
love of news, Marie pursued a career in journalism, which has seen her hold
editorial positions at the
South China Morning Post
and
Haute Living
, and been
commissioned for
The Telegraph
,
Daily Express
, CNN,
Quintessentially Asia
and numerous luxury lifestyle magazines. She has moved 11 times in the last
12 years, in places including Japan, the UK and now Hong Kong. Marie is now
mum to eight-month-old Milo, and lives with her husband and their incredibly
timid but jet-setting cat, Elbe, in Discovery Bay.
