The People Who Make it Happen - Our Authors
Maria Perinic
Completing my Bachelor’s degree in Australia, I got bitten by the travel bug and packed my bags for Europe, now living in the sunny coastal town of Zadar, Croatia. Here I completed my Master’s in Journalism and Public Relations. Being an avid Game of Thrones fan and self-confessed bookworm I constantly find myself getting lost in the lives of fictional characters like Daenerys Targaryen, and wouldn’t mind having a couple of dragons of my own.

Rachel Carr
I came to know the pros and cons of various VPNs whilst living abroad in Germany for a couple of years but still wanted to watch British TV. Now, living back in the UK, I split my time between writing, blogging and looking after my son & dog. When I get spare time, I like to cook and indulge in a glass of red.

JAMES GUILL

I’ve been involved in computers since most of you were in diapers. Since the mid-1990s, I’ve been a tech head and parlayed that into a career in the IT. Name a major company (Compaq, Dell, Bank of America, Capital One) and chances are I have worked for or supported them in the past. Now I am here to tell you which VPN and antivirus products you should use on your computer.

AMBER HILL
When Amber isn’t testing all of the VPNs and Antivirus Software the world has to offer, she can usually be found on a crazy road trip exploring the outdoors – most likely hanging from a rock. She loves a bit of adventure and you can certainly see that spark in her passion for tech writing. A great asset to the Best Online Reviews team, there isn’t a VPN out there she hasn’t heard of, if that’s not a skill we don’t know what is.

ARAYA ATTAR
Arya’s passions include dancing, cooking, coffee (that is a passion right?) and anything techy related. With a degree in software engineering, Arya left the high pressured industry to come work for us at Best Online Reviews. She therefore has a great technical approach when it comes to testing softwares and analyzing VPNs.

CHRISTIAN NICOLSON
I like playing football in my spare time, but also reading up on all of the latest tech news. I once had dreams of building robots and designing code, but then I realized I’m better at reading, processing and writing about it, than doing it myself!

DEEANN BELMONET
I’m a sucker for all things VPN-related – I really love the way that VPNs can give you instant access to content and other things you wouldn’t have been able to see just browsing regularly from your computer! I’m a stickler for the free, open internet – and I like to bring it to the people too.
You can contact me at deann@bestonlinereviews.com with any comments or suggestions.
EMERY SHORT
‘Technical writer’ is practically my middle name! I’m a fan of all things world wide web-related, as well as writing in general. I’ve been writing since I was young, but never found something I’m as truly passionate about as I am about technological advances.

FOSTER INGHAM
My favorite thing about writing for Best Online Reviews is that it gives me loads of access to the important things of the modern age – internet security, ID protection and how to keep yourself safe and secure when you’re going about your everyday life.

HECTOR ALVAREZ
I’m fairly new to some of these things – I’d never even used a VPN before a friend introduced me to the benefits of surfing worldwide, but now I’m a fully bought-up convert! I love to see what else is out there which can help me improve my online browsing experience, and when I do, I’ll be writing about it, to share with you!

KERRI LEONARDSON
Kerri’s my name, and Antivirus and VPN is my game! I started out writing about VoIP and DNA Testing, but found myself being more naturally drawn to the more technical, protective side of things. Otherwise, I love all things animal-related, and can be found either writing my heart out or walking one of my three dogs.

LEI XUN
Howdy! I’m Lei, and I bring my own spin to classic technical reporting – I keep up to date on the technical world, and have been known to stay up all night live streaming the release of new technology – I even waited for 3 days in line for a new iPhone!

REBECCA SHARMAN
I’m Rebecca – when I’m not writing – about tech, the environment or other exciting stuff, I’m playing with my kids and cooking something delicious! I remember what it’s like to grow up without a mobile phone, let alone smartphone, and marvel at how far technology has evolved in our lifetime!
