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 …

... a four-day weekend - thanks to the Melbourne Cup happening on a Tuesday - means a family mini-break by the beach on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula. . . . #visitvictoria || @visitmelbourne #visitgeelongbellarine || @visitgeelongbellarine

... my favourite photo from my brief visit to Milan earlier this month. . A spiritual soul dressed in saffron robes descends a set of stairs deep inside Milano Centrale on a Sunday morning. . I was there to catch a train, waiting for my platform to flash up on the departures board, and this serene spirit separated from the crowd of travellers and headed for the exit. . . . #latergram

... admiring (railway station) architecture at Milano Centrale. . . . #latergram

... another Duomo pic, this time a few moments after the sun disappeared behind the buildings on the other side of the Piazza. . . . #latergram

... and time for a little shopping, but it would be a crime not to spend a little money on something fashionably fabulous in Italy’s capital of style. : : : #latergram

... 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
