Bio
Fear is found on a creaking glacier in Russia's Caucasus mountains and joy is encapsulated in the perfect Shanghai dumpling, believes Melbourne-based travel writer Belinda (Belle) Jackson.
“And while I love a $500-a-night hotel room (and who doesn't?), sometimes the best stories are found in a guesthouse.”
With an eye always out for good markets, great street eats and the dream deal, she writes travel features for Sydney's Sun-Herald, The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, and hunts down the travel news for the Sun-Herald each week. She has a particular soft spot for the wilds of the Middle East, scarves and carpets.
Her articles and photographs have been published in a range of consumer magazines and newspapers in Australia and abroad including Voyeur (Virgin Australia), Paradise (Air Nuiguini), Honda magazine, marie claire (Australia) and interior design magazines Belle, Vogue Living & Entertaining and Australian Home Beautiful.
Other publications include Get Lost!, Abercrombie & Kent magazine, Morning Calm (Korean Air), Finnair, OutThere (Rex Airlines), Outback magazine, Vacations & Travel, The Irish Times, The Irish Independent, Australian Doctor, Accor Traveller, Western Horseman (US), The Adelaide Advertiser and the Sunday Mail's HOME magazine. She has also been a columnist for glossy News Ltd lifestyle magazine The Adelaide magazine.
Belinda occasionally reports on world events for Ireland's RTE Radio, has been on the judging panel of Gourmet Traveller's annual travel awards and is a member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers.
