Leigh Robshaw is a journalist, free-lance writer, copywriter, business blogger and sub-editor. She writes for a remarkable range of magazines and publications. Now she has written a fast-paced, colourful and sometimes shocking memoir, You Had Me at Hola, set in South America and Mexico.

A young Australian woman meets a beautiful Peruvian artisan in a market in San Telmo, Buenos Aires. Sensing a deep connection, they fall in love and begin a new life together. Over a period of three years, they travel the continent selling handmade jewellery in the streets and squares of Latin America, dodging police and bandits, mixing with drug dealers and narrowly escaping death.

You Had Me at Hola is a love story between two very different people, with different ways of being. It is about the search for one’s life purpose and the universal quest for belonging.
