Author profile

Following her childhood education in a seaside convent, Annalisa Rellie studied theatre at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, after which the casting couch of early marriage spared her an actor’s breadline and led to a quarter of a century happily exploring the world with her diplomat husband. When they settled back in London she turned her hand to journalism, writing in a freelance capacity for magazines about travel and food. Her passion for Montenegro, which began with a press trip in spring 2000, continued to grow exponentially as she worked tirelessly on the initial four editions of Bradt’s Montenegro, the first English-language guide dedicated exclusively to the country. Annalisa died in 2014.
