Hi! I’m Megan and I’ve been galavanting around the world travel writing full time since 2000 and blogging since 2006. “The word in travel” is my tagline with nearly 1000 posts to inspire your next trip.
I’m also the travel correspondent on Newstalk ZB radio on Sundays and I love to host tours for my readers around New Zealand, my home country, and also internationally. More info on those in the widget on the right – or below on mobile!
