Travel writing & research

Jess Rowe

Jess writes the long-form pieces and tracks down the practical stuff travellers actually need — opening hours, road conditions, the unwritten rules locals know.

About Jess

Jess covers anything that doesn't fit neatly under tours, parks or destinations: practical guides, history pieces, transport notes, the small details that matter once you're on the road. She's the one ringing the visitor centre at 4pm on a Friday to make sure Saturday's tour is still running. Lives between Brisbane and Hobart depending on which one's in summer; will shamelessly choose the warmer one.
