About the author
Hannah Hopcroft sat down to write The Adventures of Olive upon returning to New Zealand after living in Latin America for almost 5 years.
At 17 Hannah went to Greece, this was the moment where life changed and she felt the noise, smell and colour of bustling foreign cities calling her in. At 20 she packed a bag and headed off with a one way ticket to Argentina where once again her senses would be excited and her life would again change forever.
Working in a bustling indoor market making coffee is where Hannah and Ernesto met and where they would decide that they should buy a van and drive to Mexico. This is when Olive, a little green kombi turned into their home and they set off with the goal of learning all they could about coffee.
