Desiree Fiess, former Mrs. South African Semi-Finalist, was born and bred in South Africa. Together with her husband Richard, she has been living between South Africa and the Middle East these past few years. She holds a BA degree in Business and a degree in International Education. She has always been passionate about writing and devotes much of her time to freelance copywriting. As a former flight attendant and avid traveler, exploring the world remains one of her greatest joys and passions.
