Emily McAuliffe – Australian freelance travel writer and travel photographer
Hi, thanks for stopping by. My name is Emily McAuliffe and I’m an Australian travel writer, features writer, travel photographer and hotel reviewer, based in Melbourne, Australia.
Where my work appears
My work has been published in many high-profile titles in Australia and around the world, including Lonely Planet, Time Out, Traveller, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, ESCAPE, BBC News, The Telegraph UK, The CEO Magazine, International Traveller, Explore Travel, NZ Herald, MiNDFOOD, Australian Traveller, Caravan World, Signature Luxury Travel & Style, Vacations & Travel, Good Food Australia, Food and Travel UK, The Australian, Selector, The Road Ahead, Tourism & Events Queensland, Visit Lake Macquarie, Tourism Australia's Connect to Country, and inflight magazines for Qantas, Virgin, Aer Lingus, Singapore Airlines, Luxair, Wizz Air, Air Baltic and Jetstar.

My specialisations
I love travel in its many forms and find great joy in discovering new places, activities, tastes, sights and sounds. While I'll write about pretty much anything (I'm not scared of a tent, hike or hostel), I particularly enjoy writing about food and wine, luxury travel, hotels and boutique accommodation, cultural experiences and soft adventure (bungee jumping is a step too far). I also love writing profile features, and have had the pleasure of interviewing many interesting people, including a few celebrities.
I'm currently based in Australia, but spent a couple of years living in Europe (Portugal, to be specific), and am happy to travel almost anywhere for a good story.
My experience
In addition to running a freelance travel writing and photography business, I'm on the board of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) – Australia's peak body for travel media, am the editor of Trinity Today, the magazine of Trinity College at the University of Melbourne, and I've worked in senior corporate communications positions, where I've produced and overseen editorial calendars, EDM campaigns, website management, photo shoots and video projects.
My qualifications include a Master of Public Health with Distinction (UON), a Bachelor of Business Management and Bachelor of Arts (UQ), Advanced Copyediting (RMIT), a Cert IV in Business Social Media and a Cert III in Videography.
This means I've got broad perspective, skills and experience, and am accustomed to delivering work of exceptional quality to international deadlines.
