About
Welcome to Inside the Travel Lab, my blog on the art and science of unusual journeys.
“If you’re a thinking traveler, you’ll love Abi’s style.” TravelPod.
Inside the Travel Lab is about seeing the world through new eyes. It brings you fresh global stories, with photos, recipes, music, books and films to keep your travel dreams alive. It’s also my place to reflect upon my work and travels as a professional writer, connect with the travel community and enjoy exploring all this planet has to offer.
Indulge your dreams with curiosity about the rest of the world…
What you’ll find here:
Something unusual. Either a location, a taste, a custom or a career.
The world can be beautiful, inspiring and moving, it can also be disturbing, frightening, poignant and crazy. That’s why you’ll find a mix of writing, from discovering Spanish love traditions in Seville and tasting mushroom vodka to learning how to save a life and uncovering ghosts with the Red Cross.
Why did you call it Inside the Travel Lab?
Notes on my unusual journey…
Before writing full-time, I worked in neuroscience research, taught Anatomy to university students and developed a successful career as a doctor specialising in Emergency Medicine.
That love of science - the curiosity and power of experimentation, of trying something new - still travels with me. So, too does the critical approach I learned towards “accepted facts.”
I also love mango chutney, the Blackadder series and marmite toast, buttered just right.
