HI, I’M SARAH

& I’m on a mission to change how we think about wellness travel.

Wellness travel isn’t limited to fancy people in fancy spas.

      Wellness travel means traveling well. It means…

Taking care of our body, mind, spirit, and planet

       Empowering people with chronic illnesses to travel in a way that supports our health

Looking beyond the surface of a place to explore its hidden corners

        Using our money to support sustainable businesses

Ethically volunteering our time or expertise to help out around the world

         Eating well, whether that’s a high end tasting menu, a street side cooking class, or walking three miles for gluten free croissants

And yeah. Sometimes it means spas and zenned-out hotels, too!

MY STORY

I’m Sarah, the blogger behind Endless Distances! A gluten free foodie (since 2012!), yoga and nature lover, and big fan of unconventional life choices.

I always wanted to be a writer when I “grew up.” But in 2015, when I graduated with a degree in Creative Writing, I felt unfulfilled – both in my purpose and my place. I wanted to help people in a tangible way, and I didn’t feel I could do that in the path I was on. And after getting a taste of life abroad during a study abroad year in England, I knew I wanted to return.

So I decided to pursue a Master’s in Occupational Therapy – and I moved to England to do this! I spent three more years living in southwest England. I explored Europe on a budget, used my skills to volunteer with refugees in France, and started my travel blog (so I could record all my celiac safe gluten free travel finds …. And also so my Grandma could see what I was up to).

But after years on a 100% gluten free diet, I started getting sick again … in 2018, I moved home to Michigan (and 4,000 miles away from my boyfriend) to see specialist doctors. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. After six years spent learning how to safely travel gluten free, I once again had to relearn how to travel while supporting my body, mind, and health.

Just half a year after waking up in the hospital bed with my Endometriosis diagnosis, I quit my job, flew to Nepal, and trekked to Everest Base Camp! Life has been a roller coaster since then (well – long before then, too!), as I try to balance my chronic illnesses with a love of travel, a love of writing, and a desire to help people.

Endless Distances is a place to share my adventures – but it’s also part of my mission to help others live well & travel widely. Whether you are gluten free, a chronic illness warrior, a sustainable travel lover, an outdoor adventurer, dream of moving abroad, or just want the best insider tips on travel planning – I aim to be your best resource.
