Sarah is Travel Editor for ACM. She has edited leading travel liftouts and magazines in Australia for the best part of 20 years, and is amazed at how the exhilaration of going travelling never fades.

My all-time favourite destination is … Italy. A three-week family holiday, from Rome to Venice via Tuscany and the Cinque Terre, was a pinch-ourselves dream come true, every single day.

Next on my bucket list is … South America - in particular Argentina, Peru and Colombia. I’d love to explore them all, the capital cities and beyond.

My top travel tip is … Make regular plans to travel and have adventures - however near or far from home - with the people you love most.
