My name is Sarah Nicholson and I'm a travel journalist writing 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 ...
