Books By Sara Stewart - Author

Sara Stewart became an independent traveller when she ran away from home, aged four. Studying at university in Madrid encouraged her to explore Latin America in 1974/5, after crossing the Atlantic in a cargo boat, posing as the captain's niece. After a year working in publishing, she took off for southeast Asia, returning on local buses through countries now too politically charged to explore. Subsequently, she founded a textile business in India, spending years travelling through remote areas. Following marriage and children, she moved to Ireland - where she was involved in the country's first ever travel-writing literary festival. She has never stopped travelling, recent explorations including Saharan Chad, Niger, Algeria and camping in Sudan's Nubian desert. She is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. A Long Way South is her first book.
