Welcome to
My Travelling Circus
Hi, I’m Samantha. I’m a travel and health writer, marketing and brand consultant, breast cancer survivor, and mum to two young men who are, without question, my greatest achievement.
This little corner of the internet is where I share the real stuff - family life after cancer, raising young men, and our travels around the world. It’s sometimes beautiful, sometimes messy, but always authentic, all told with my dry (and sometimes naughty) British humor.
You’ll find travel tips, honest reviews, and the places, products, and moments I genuinely love.
I’m so glad you’re here.
