I’m Heather — a travel writer, photographer, and hospitality industry veteran who has spent two decades moving through the world with a camera, a curiosity that refuses to stay quiet, and a deep conviction that the most valuable thing travel gives you isn’t a stamp in your passport. It’s a shift in how you see the world.

Abroad Perspective Travel is where I write through that shift.

You’ll find honest destination stories that go beyond the obvious itinerary. The kind of travel that takes you somewhere unexpected even when the destination is exactly where you planned to go, where a conversation with a stranger, a meal you didn’t plan, or a place you almost didn’t visit turns out to be the whole point. Alongside the destinations, you’ll find reflections on what it means to travel thoughtfully in a world that moves too fast, cultural observations from someone who has sat at a lot of unexpected tables, and photography that tries to capture not just what a place looks like but what it actually feels like.

This is not a highlight reel. It’s a travel journal with a point of view.

Some posts will be lighthearted - a rooftop at golden hour, a boutique hotel worth every dollar, a sailing day on the Adriatic. Others will go deeper into the culture, the people, and the moments that linger long after the flight home. All of them will be real.

If you’ve ever stood somewhere in the world and felt something shift, some quiet recalibration of how you see things, then this space is for you.

Every new post arrives directly in your inbox. No algorithms deciding whether you see it. Just honest travel writing from someone who genuinely believes that the more the world understands itself, the better chance it has.

Welcome to Abroad Perspective Travel. Let’s go somewhere.
