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 gallivant around the globe.

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

And hopefully you will find inspiration for your next trip far, near or here …

... #latergram from my visit to Le Castellet last month. This is the view across the fields and villages of southern Provence from the Balcony of Women. The hilltop hamlet’s women folk would gather on this ledge to watch their men at battle below back in the medieval days when marauders rampaged across the south of France. Now the perfect place for visiting tourists to sit while enjoying a scoop of lavender ice cream. . . . . . . #France #visitfrance #lecastellet #provence #cotedazur #mediterraneancruise #sevenseasvoyager #regentcruises #experienceregent #cruise #cruising #shoreexcursion #view #lookout #viewpoint #myview #landscape #balcony #provencestyle #provencelife #hilltop #traveldeeper #traveltheworld #travel #travelling #traveller #travelholic #travelgram #travelphotography @regentcruises
... #latergram from last month’s visit to Le Castellet. This is the archway leading to the Balcony of Women, where the town’s female folk would stand to watch their men at battle in the fields far below the hilltop hamlet. . . . #France #visitfrance #lecastellet #provence #southoffrance #cotedazur #mediterranean #mediterraneancruise #sevenseasvoyager #regentcruises #experienceregent #cruise #cruising #shoreexcursion #architecturelovers #archway #door #entrance #balcony #provencestyle #provencelife #hilltop #villagestyle #travel #travelling #traveller #travelholic #travelgram #travelphotography @regentcruises
... #latergram from my day in Le Castellet last month. I spent a few sunny hours in this delightful hilltop village while Seven Seas Voyager was navigating the Côte d’Azur. I could have visited any number of hamlets that day but settled on La Castellet because it’s close to the race track where the French GP is held and I LOVE F1. I didn’t see the track - it’s to the north and apparently on the other side of a mountain - but I could hear engines roaring so that was good enough for me. And, BYW, the French GP is on this very weekend ... go @danielricciardo . . . #France #visitfrance #lecastellet #provence #southoffrance #cotedazur #mediterranean #mediterraneancruise #sevenseasvoyager #regentcruises #experienceregent #cruise #cruising #shoreexcursion #facade #facadelovers #architecturelovers #architectureporn #provencestyle #provencelife #hilltop #village #villagestyle #travel #travelling #traveller #travelholic #travelgram #travelphotography @regentcruises
