Hi, I’m Louise Goldsbury, a travel writer since 1999 — yes, last century!
If you want to know more about that, read How I Became a Travel Writer.
More recently, I have specialised in cruising, because it pays the best money for the least effort on press trips. But seriously, I just love the ocean and escaping reality on ships.
Except for those two dark, dry years when the world went mad, so I roamed around outback Queensland and Western Australia, while freelancing for The Australian.
From 2022-2024, I travelled around Europe, as a digital (and nautical) nomad.
In 2025, I’m writing a book, she says optimistically. This newsletter is like a first draft. And yet I still don’t know whether it’s a memoir or a novel that fictionalises my true stories. For now, it’s all truth. The stuff you won’t read in my published articles.
