Ren O’Flaherty | Portfolio & Awards

I am an Australian freelance travel journalist with a degree in Human Geography. 

My stories are sparked by yarns with locals, a love of birds and a desire to connect to my Wonnarua (Aboriginal) and Irish heritages. 

With bylines in BBC Travel and Adventure.com, I dig into what travel can teach us about conservation, Indigenous knowledges, and the relationships between people and the earth.

Brands, organisations and communities: Let’s work together! Let me help you share your ‘why’.
