Meet Vanessa




Vanessa is an Australian-based freelance writer and editor with a BA in Creative Writing. She’s passionate about creating travel content that inspires her readers to take a leap of faith and power through their bucket lists.
When she’s not writing (with her border collie asleep at her feet), she’s devouring books, exploring the world, or planning her next trip.

When I'm not traveling, you can either find me cooking old recipes that my grandmother passed down, reading historical fiction, or hanging out with my border collie and two cats.
Horse riding through Wicklow Mountains National Park in Ireland. I’ve never seen so much green!
Luxury combined with immersive cultural experiences and beautiful nature views.
Preferred Way To Stay: Hotel for shorter stays, Airbnb for longer stays. I like all the creature comforts and security of hotels, until I’m staying long enough to do multiple loads of washing. Then I want my own laundry facilities!
Word of mouth, but I also gravitate towards places that align with my interests. As a history buff, I love a medieval city!

WayToStay.com was founded in 2021 by Lewis Ogden. After being frustrated by the lack of a dedicated resource for epic travel guides and finding unique hotels with a difference, he decided to create one!
