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 …

... Galleria Vittorio Emanuele floor. . . . #latergram
... laaaaaaaaaa 🙄 . The ethereal interior of Milano’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, one of this planet’s most breathtaking and beautiful buildings. . Always stuns me into silence when I get to see this glorious structure with my own eyes, reason enough to visit Milano. . . . #latergram
