Carolyn Shine studied Fine Arts and Linguistics at the University of New South Wales and went on to become a musician, songwriter and music educator. As a freelance writer she was published in various publications, including the Sydney Morning Herald.
Shine moved to Hanoi in 2002, 'expecting available culture and romance. Her disappointment propelled her to seek satisfying answers to questions on culture that until then she'd never dared ask'.
