Sasha Arms
Sasha’s first ‘proper’ travel experience was at the tempestuous age of seventeen, when it was cool to be the fearless traveller. Finding herself propped up in a hammock in the jungle in Brazil with gleaming alligator eyes a few metres away, waist-high in piranha-infested waters, and in other equally ludicrous situations, was a far cry from home in leafy Surrey. But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and those early experiences obviously infected Sasha with ‘The Bug’. Not schistosomiasis or another water-borne disease, but the travel variety, as she went on to roam extensively, particularly across Europe, Central America and South Africa.
In the meantime, Sasha has built up a repertoire of editorial experience. As well as being the Travel Editor and Managing Editor of an international lifestyle magazine, she has been the Web Editor for a high-profile charity, a journalist in Honduras and a Lonely Planet contributor. These accolades have naturally added to her stockpile of funky travel experiences – a Honduran prison visit, an accidental Costa Rican guest house that doubled as a brothel and a fashion photoshoot in Poland with London’s editorial ‘elite’ – to name but a few.
Sasha is currently based in London web-editing and working on freelance writing projects. She is also a Contributing Writer for Suite101.
