Hi, I’m Claire. Thanks for stopping by at Saltwater!
This site is inspired by my travels and the belief that while not everyone can take a year off to travel the world, there’s a lot you can fit into two or three weeks. From South America to Sri Lanka, Saltwater takes you around the world to inspire a little wanderlust.
South America was my first love and was my travel dream for many years – in fact I’ve been five times (soon to be six)! Although I haven’t backpacked the classic ‘gringo trail’ of Peru and Bolivia, I’ve travelled across Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Paraguay and the rarely-visited Bolivian Pantanal since I turned 30.
If you’re looking for travel inspiration for your South American trip, practical tips and lesser visited spots, Saltwater is a great place to start!
Salvador – one of my favourite cities in Brazil
I’m a part-time traveller who works full-time, so I understand the challenges of making the most of your annual leave/holiday allowance. I also studied abroad for a year in the South of France whilst at uni and I’m a real advocate for studying or working abroad for a while if you get the chance.
Saltwater is a place to share my travel stories and those of the people I meet.
I love colourful, vibrant, quirky places, am a city girl at heart but love wide open spaces and dramatic mountains and I’m happiest by the sea.
Travel inspiration from around the world
Just a taste of the kind of inspiration you’ll find on Saltwater – I hope something will spark your curiousity and make you want to see more of the world!
