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.

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

... 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
