Experience
Sarah has been writing about her travel experience for the last 10 years, covering everything from kid-friendly hikes in national parks to the expense of constantly traveling in an RV. She's taken a tour of every state capitol building in the United States, explored countless museums, and walked on the beach in any state that has one to offer. Her travels have recently taken her beyond the borders of the U.S., letting her check two more continents and four countries — Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco — off of her destination bucket list. As a contributor to Islands News, Sarah enjoys writing about lesser-known destinations and travel hacks that help her fellow adventure-seekers stretch their budget while making the most of every trip.
