About Fiona Harper
Hi, I'm Fiona Harper, travel writer, digital media manager, content creator, blogger, sailor, marathoner and gadget geek. There's more but we'll leave it at that for now. Unless there's cocktails involved. In that case pull up a pew and you'll get the full story. But for now this career snapshot will suffice.
As well as writing travel tales and tips for Sequins and Sand, my other baby is the online magazine Travel Boating Lifestyle . It's the much-loved creative outlet where I can write and publish the stories that I really want to write. The ones told with personality, soul and passion, and maybe they're just a little bit off the wall.
"Sorry Conde Nast Traveller, I'd love to take that coveted cover assignment to the Maldives but I'm kinda busy with my blog this week."
But more importantly, my dear readers have told me that the stories I write for Travel Boating Lifestyle are exactly the kind of scintillating travel stuff they want to read.
My travels have taken me to lots of wondrous places all over the world. And you can see them here!
So slip into something comfortable (or strap on something sharp and pointy, whatever floats your boat, I don't care), pour yourself a sassy drink, top it with an umbrella and enjoy some fun travel adventures through my eyes.
Fiona.
