Carolyne Jasinski
Editor, Journalist, Photographer, Podcast host, Guest Speaker, Famil Host
Footloose & Fancy Freelance

A wise woman (my mum) once told me: "The world is at your feet". I took her literally and have followed those feet to some amazing places around the world.
As a journalist, photographer and podcaster, I have captured many of those destinations in words and images, inspiring others to follow in my footsteps ... or warning them to tread carefully.
My work has been published in print, online via websites and social media and broadcast on Travel Writers Radio.
I have co-authored three books and created two travel apps.
After a long career as Production Editor with News Corp, and Editor of The Wanderer, I am now Footloose & Fancy Freelance, specialising in the travel industry from writing and editing, to tour guiding, famil hosting and guest speaking on cruise ships.
Published in Australian Financial Review, Australian Geographic, Australian Traveller, Asian Journeys, Beyond, Caravan World, Camper, Courier Mail, CruiseCritic, Daily Telegraph, Decanter, Escape, escape.com.au, Explore, Future Adelaide, Gold Coast Bulletin, GoRV, Great Walks, Hipcamp, In Daily, kidspot.com.au, news.com.au, NZ Herald, Outback Spirit, Over 60, Readers Digest, RV Daily, SALife, SA Weekend, Selector, Senior Traveller, Silverkris, StarRV.com, The Wanderer, Travel Writers Radio, soundcloud.com, Vacations & Travel ... and more.
And to fill in any spare time, I am launching a new business hosting media and influencer famils for the travel industry. Stay tuned for news about TravHost.world
