Hi, I’m Sara!

I fell in love with travel after a family trip to China when I was twelve years old; the vibrancy of the people and the authenticity of the culture fascinated me. Now, thirty-some countries later, including living in Ireland, Spain, Italy, and New Zealand, travel is one of my greatest passions.
