Hi there, I’m Sarah
I’m a freelance writer based in Perth, Western Australia. I started writing in 2015 when I moved to the Philippines with my family and decided to start blogging about our adventures.
Soon after I became the editor of an expat magazine and that’s where my love of writing really kicked in.
I love writing about food and travel, especially local and adventure travel. Supporting local businesses, artisans, and producers is also something I’m passionate about. I enjoy telling people’s stories, and you know everyone has one – you just need to know the right questions to ask and make the right observations.
But really, I will talk about anything that excites me: discovering new places, reading great books, and embarking on beautiful experiences that create those moments we capture in our hearts and memories.
What Sets Me Apart from Other Writers
My writing is unpretentious and conversational. I love storytelling, and to do this I use my senses and instincts, crafting my words kind of as if I am weaving together the threads of a tapestry. I want my reader to embark on a journey with me, so I can show them what a wonderful moment this is.
Building relationships with people I work with is important to me, and I enjoy conducting thorough research to ensure my articles are written with rigor. I take pride in my punctuality, meeting deadlines, and ensuring I’ve done my best for you.
I believe every good story begins with curiosity and ends with connection. With so many things that interest me, I’m always seeking stories that inspire. Uncovering the narratives behind remarkable people and places gets me excited, and my favourite part of writing is finding that one detail or getting that one quote that brings a story to life.
Let’s create something extraordinary together!
Fun Facts About Me
I live by the ocean with my husband, two kids, our dog Noodles, a guinea pig and a rabbit.
The name SaltyBug comes from our life by the ocean and always having salt in our hair, and Bug is the pet name my husband has for me.
I love being outdoors hiking, trail running, camping and watching sunsets.
I love to cook and watching the satisfied reactions of people I care about when they eat my food is the best feeling.
I listen to music while I cook, and I’ll sing and dance around the kitchen. My kids tell me to stop.
