Meet Pippa Rafferty
There are two things Pippa never travels without.
A notebook.
And her curiosity.
Travel writing is Pippa’s job, but curiosity tends to take her beyond the assignment.
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.
For Pippa, getting to know a place means staying long enough for the polished version to give way to the real one.
The Notebook
Wherever Pippa goes, a notebook goes with her.
It isn't a diary, exactly.
It's where she keeps the things she doesn't want to lose.
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.
Most of it is material for work.
Every now and then, she writes something down and she isn’t sure why… until later.
