Augusta's Biog

Ever since her first backpacking adventure, Augusta’s been hooked on travel. This sparked her to spend a year abroad during university, and she was lucky enough to study in Tokyo. Japan captivated her from the get-go – the intricate culture, fabulous food, and incredibly kind people (yes, it’s cliché, but it’s true!). She made the most of her time in this part of the world by travelling around Southeast Asia, too.

It felt only natural for Augusta to turn her love for Asia into a career. Over the years, she’s worked with several companies that specialise in the continent, enjoying recces to countries like Sri Lanka (all in the name of research, of course!). There, she was unexpectedly delighted by Sri Lankan spices and wowed by the wildlife. A special moment etched in her memory is spotting elephants playing and swimming in Gal Oya National Park as the sun dipped below the horizon with an ice-cold G&T in hand. Just magic. Then, there was the early-morning visit to a bustling fish market, a whirlwind of colour and chaos, followed by a whale-watching trip – where she glimpsed their mighty tails whacking into the water and was joined by what felt like hundreds of dolphins dipping in and out of the waves beside her boat. Unbeatable.

At ETG, Augusta’s found her niche. She combines her love of travel and storytelling by writing ETG’s blog and newsletter, making sure that every piece reflects our ethos of immersive, meaningful travel. She also collaborates closely with the Travel Team to share their expertise and update our branded content – like our Country Guides – in order to bring to life the unique experiences ETG offers to curious travellers like you.
