A translator turned editor, Sabina was the first copywriter in the Luxury Escapes' Europe office before moving into an editorial role. She has since taken to living a nomadic lifestyle, usually preferring to settle into a place long enough to find the best coffee and the most scenic running route. Along the way, she has dived with hammerhead sharks in the Galápagos, spent two months skiing in a Bulgarian mountain town, chased waterfalls and geysers in Iceland, and searched for haggis and Nessie in the Scottish Highlands. Friends often come to her for recommendations on where to stay, eat and explore – usually right after asking, 'where in the world are you now?'
