Sadhbh Warren

Sadhbh Warren is an Irish woman who moved to Australia in 2006, on the grounds that it’s sunny, has great food and the pubs open later. Her name is easier to say than spell - it’s pronounced Sive (like five).

Having variously worked as an executive assistant, travelling carnie and one of Santa’s Elves, she finds the best thing about being a freelance travel and humour writer is being able to justify going on holiday as travelling for work and surfing the web as research. She blogs about pop culture, travel and being an accidental mobile disaster area at http://sadhbh.blogspot.com

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding). My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]

Led Zeppelin are responsible for my all-time favourite mixed metaphor: "There you sit, sit and stare, like a book on a shelf rusting." (Misty Mountain Hop) I laugh every time I hear it. Hmmm, I believe I've decided what to play on the way to work today. [read more]
