Meet Pippa Rafferty
There are two things Pippa never travels without.
A notebook.
And her curiosity.
As a travel writer, she's drawn to the places most people walk straight past.
Fortunately for her readers...
She writes everything down.
Beyond the Guidebook
The places Pippa remembers most are rarely the busiest.
They're the vineyard hidden behind a stone wall.
The tiny café with three tables.
The conversation that lasts far longer than expected.
She believes every destination reveals itself a little differently to those prepared to slow down and look beyond the obvious.
The Notebook
Wherever Pippa goes, a notebook goes with her.
Wherever Pippa goes, a notebook goes with her.
Not to remember where she went.
But how it felt.
A conversation on a ferry.
A recommendation from a local.
The colour of the sea before sunset.
The name of a village she'd like to return to.
Some notes become travel articles.
Some become something else entirely.
