Carmen Allan-Petale

Self-confessed freedom junkie, Carmen left the corporate world to travel the globe in 2013 and has never looked back.
Together with David, the pair founded Red Platypus Creative, a content writing business that draws on their skills as journalists and published writers.
While initially the main purpose of their business was to fund their travelling lifestyle, these days Carmen loves nothing more than helping small businesses to get their brands out into the world through the written word.
