Hi there
Welcome to I’m half a world away and travelwithtarra!
I’m Tarra.
I have a huge passion for all things travel-related and love to see the world. I took my first flight at 9 years old and I have since visited many countries around the globe, over 40 at last count. If I stopped revisiting my favorite destinations, I would have visited even more. I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list and I’m always on the lookout for the next adventure.
From the time I left school until now, I have worked in the travel industry, either for travel agencies, airlines, or airports. In 2004, I left my home in Leeds, England to travel around Southeast Asia. After backpacking (very glamorously) for 6 months I traveled to Australia where I ended up calling Sydney home for over 7 years, during which time I became an Australian citizen.
These days I’m back in the UK and using that as my base to explore the world, and have found a passion for blogging. This blog is my opportunity to share all the details about the amazing places I’ve visited, giving hints and tips on destinations and connecting with like-minded people.
My own independent travel agency ‘I’m half a world away’ launched in 2021 to help people when it comes to booking their next adventure or vacation.
Feel free to send me an email and I’ll be happy to help you plan your itinerary, come up with travel ideas, or book your next vacation.
