Neil Fahey is a Melbourne-based freelance writer and editor with over two decades of experience. Not content working with words part-time, he also works a day job as an editor. With well-honed attention to detail, he has a unique and valuable skillset ranging from SEO and content marketing to CMS platforms and HTML. As a teenager, Neil was so keen to write that he built his first content-focused website in 1996. He’s been crafting compelling content, both online and offline, ever since.

After getting his start writing music and event reviews, he’s more recently crossed into the travel and outdoors sphere, and his specialties are hiking, camping and outdoor adventure travel. Notable freelance commissions have included copywriting for Viator Travel and several years as a regular contributor to Great Walks, a hiking-focused Australian print magazine. He’s also the Founding Editor of award-winning website, The Bushwalking Blog, and co-authored the hiking guidebook, A Visitor's Guide to the Best Walks of the Great Ocean Road, published in 2016 by Woodslane Publishing.

Neil is a creative and driven innovator with broad interests ranging from Web3 and blockchain technology to music, outdoor adventure and hand-poked tattooing.
