Inspiring Travel Writing from Sally Howard
A penchant for Mediterranean men wrested Sally Howard from the relative calm of women's magazines and sent her out on an exploratory road trip in hot pursuit of steamy embraces in narrow, cobbled streets. Whilst an incident involving flying paella cured her of this predilection, her wanderlust proved unquenchable, leading her across Asia, the Pacific islands, Australasia and Europe.
A lover, in particular, of noisy, dusty cities teeming with life and scrawny dogs, Sally's recent travels have taken her to Bhopal, Dhaka and Mumbai. Covering everything from food to 4x4 motoring, Sally is currently contributing, amongst numerous others, to Sunday Times Travel, BA High Life, Condé Nast Traveller, ELLE and Marie Claire.
