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.
