About me …

My name is Sarah and I’m a travel journalist writing features and news for a swag of Australian newspapers, magazines and websites.

This is my website, the place I post words and pictures gathered as I galavant around the globe.

So enjoy the news, reviews, updates, random thinking and regular snapping – photos, that is – gathered here.

And you might just find inspiration for your next trip far, near or here.

... baby animals are good for the soul. Spent the morning at Bundoora Park Farm with my favourite little person, meeting all the baby lambs and little goats in the busy animal nursery.

This (swipe ➡️) is Tim Page last night during the opening of his “21” exhibition showing now at Melbourne’s Leica store. . I have been a Tim Page fan for decades so it was goosebumps time standing just a couple of metres from him as he spoke about his time photographing combat in Vietnam during the most dramatic days of the American War. . I have often been disappointed meeting my idols, but not this time with the legendary photojournalist as cool and casually charismatic as I expected. . Such a treat to be in the same room as the man that inspired me to pick up a camera and try capturing the emotion of the far-away places I visit. . . . #leica #timpage #photographer #gallery #leicagallery #exhibition #artgallery #photographyexhibition photographers #leicaakademieaustralia #leicaakademie #photography#warstories #vietnam @leica_camera_aus @timpagephoto
Travel flashback to where I was this time last year ... watching a storm brew above Quy Nhon from my balcony at Avani Quy Nhon Resort. . And wishing I was there again right now as an Antarctic blast howls across Melbourne and drops the temperature to unpleasantly icy. . . . #quynhon #vietnam #visitvietnam #vietnamtrip #vietnamtravel #myhappyplace #avaniquynhon #avaniresort #traveltheworld #beach #thunderstorm #cloud #cloudporn #sky #skyporn #travel #travelgram #iamatraveller #slowtravel #traveldeeper #travelinspiration #travellover #travelling #travelphotography #escapesnaps @escapesnaps

... spent the afternoon at Melbourne Airport’s Dnata Catering Centre to learn more about how the team - around 470 staffers including 90 chefs - prepare meals for travellers flying from Melbs. . The team prepare around 15,000 meals a day for 40-something flights, with that number jumping to 26,000 in-flight snacks during school holidays. . I was there as a guest of Malaysian Airlines - one of Dnata’s customers - to see how the catering centre manages the carrier’s multi-cultural requirements. . . . #dnata #fly #flying #food #foodie #airport #melbourneairport #airplanefood #malaysianairlines #eat #eating #travelfood #travelfoodie #kitchen #catering #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #travelholic #travelling #traveller @melbourneairportau #escapesnaps @escapesnaps
