Inez Baranay
I was born in Italy of Hungarian parents who migrated to Australia when I was a baby. It is a bit amazing how often and how recently I am still asked about this. I grew up feeling foreign and now accept feeling foreign wherever i am. I lived for most of my first 40 years in Sydney, with some of my high school years spent in Malaya and later I travelled overseas more and more. After a year in Papua New Guinea I lived in Queensland on my return to Australia, in the Far North then on the Gold Coast. Many of my travels took me to India -- 12 times so far -- where three of my books were first published. In 2007 I moved out of my beachside home with a one-way ticket to USA and Europe: 5 months in Amsterdam, 6 months in Rome then various periods in several places in Europe, India, USA and Australia. Eventually I wanted to live somewhere for a longer time and on my first visit to Istanbul in November 2011 fell in love with this city and now Istanbul is where I live.
