ABOUT
Welcome to the world of German-born Bea Eschen, a talented writer whose life experiences on different continents have inspired her work. From her beginnings in Cape Town, South Africa to her current home in Sydney, Australia, Bea's journey has been full of adventure and inspiration.
Even as a young woman, Bea was fascinated by the idea of exploring distant lands. Her move to Cape Town at the age of 19 to study horticulture was challenging due to the language barrier and culture shock. But it was also a transformative experience, opening her eyes to the reality of apartheid and inspiring her to write.
After several years in South Africa, Bea moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where she immersed herself in the culture and completed a degree in humanities. During this time, Bea's love of art and culture grew, and she began to explore her own creativity through writing.
Today, Bea lives in Brisbane, Australia, where she continues to write and pursue her passion for spirituality and life-changing experiences. Her stories reflect her own life in many ways and are based on her interests, inspirations, and experiences. Through her writing, Bea aims to inspire readers to embrace inner growth and celebrate the beauty and adversity of the world.
