Hey! Thanks for dropping by!
I’m Ann-Marie – the main traveller and writer behind “Travel Better Life”
I love to Pack Light, Travel Hard, and minimise the impact on our world. Physical, emotional, and social.
We can do it! It is possible to travel better. Join me as we share all of the amazing ways to explore and learn to travel responsibly. Every story shared here is built from personal experience; every destination is from my own journey or shared by guest contributors with full credit. True travel stories must come from the heart and the person.
Start with my postcards here and meet me in some of the best destinations for travel! Or if you are looking to learn more from your travels, take inspiration from my own life lessons here.
I do not support AI contributions or articles, and I am not a fan of drone photography due to its ongoing impact on many local communities. What you see here is pure, raw, and honest. We will advise openly if any sponsorship or contribution from any business exists. Otherwise, our journeys are self-funded and supported through other publications after our return home.
You can also find my travel stories in other publications. I’m a freelance writer and photographer with published work in print and online worldwide. Check out the links below for more!
World Footprints
One of my favourite sites for Responsible Travel. An opportunity to explore the social studies behind our travel.
Going.com
It starts with a dream destination and grows into an adventure holiday! Going.com is a great place for inspiration and a starting point for research, with just a bit more to tempt you there.
Book Riot
Have you ever read a book and thought, I want to go there? Book Riot offers more than book reviews. It dives deeper into why we read and how it motivates us to do more. Check out my travel inspired articles here.
Lonely Planet Guide: Australia
“No road trip in Australia is complete without a stopover at a ‘Big Thing’.” With so much of my childhood spent on Australian roads, writing about our love for ‘Big Things’ was a natural fit. You can find my short essay in the latest LP Guide: Australia. You can also discover more tips on Australia on the link below:
