She has visited many countries, including but not limited to: Bangladesh, India, France, Japan, Turkey, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, in addition to the countries she has lived in.

She has since written many books over the years, delving into YA fiction and children's books. Nora works as a professional editor and freelance illustrator. In her spare time, she writes, cooks and reads. She currently resides in the Alamo region of Texas with her husband and their three-year-old cat, Casper.
