Rough Guides are written by expert authors who are passionate about both writing and travel. They have detailed knowledge of the areas they write about--having either traveled extensively or lived there--and their expertise shines through on every page. It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides. Sara Darling lives in sunny Brighton. A former fashion editor, she has travelled to over fifty countries on assignment. Stand-out memories include learning to surf in Bali, driving an F1 race car in the Algarve, waterfall rappelling in Costa Rica and paragliding in Turkey. Published in The Times, The Independent, Evening Standard, Rough Guides and Culture Trip, along with a gamut of luxury online publications, she has an excessive amount of bikinis and is happiest when heading to somewhere with a beach, discovering off-the-beaten-track flea markets or sampling local vegetarian cuisine.
