Hi, I’m Ren O’Flaherty!

I’m an Australian-based freelance travel journalist and storyteller.

My degree in Human Geography and Aboriginal heritage guide the stories I like to tell. I explore the interactions between humans and their environment, especially if it can be done while highlighting Indigenous culture and knowledges. 

Through my travel journalism I explore Indigenous tourism, nature (especially birds), adventure and ethical tourism. See my portfolio here.

On RenAway you’ll find some of my ‘off the beaten track adventures’ (and the how-tos), stories from communities, local recommendations, homestay and volunteering opportunities, and how to do bird watching on a backpacker budget.

So welcome and let’s renaway together.
