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 spent the past decade writing about cruising, but that was sunk by the pandemic. Australia shut off from the world for two years, so I decided to roam around the country, mostly in Queensland and WA, while freelancing for The Australian.
In 2022, I travelled around Europe, as a digital (and nautical) nomad.
In 2023, I’m writing a book, set on a cruise ship. This newsletter is like a first draft, open to anyone. My novel is inspired by many of these true stories, but sails off in a fictional direction.
