Our Team
Stephen Scourfield

After a lifetime of travel and writing, our Travel Editor knows the world’s nooks and crannies. Twice named Australia’s Best Travel Writer, the recipient of a United Nations Media Award, he’s also an award winning novelist, and acclaimed professional photographer and word performer (and a mostly-reliable motorcyclist). Our crew fears only one phrase: “I’ve had an idea …”
Geoffrey Thomas

One of the world’s most respected aviation journalists and commentators, Geoffrey has won 37 international and national awards in the last 10 years.

Grace Millimaci
Journalist
William Yeoman
Books Editor & Travel Writer
An inveterate seeker of all things literary in foreign climes,Will “the Quill” Yeoman has enjoyed literary encounters Poirot star David Suchet in a dingy airless room in London’s East End and crossed (metaphoric) swords on Australian stages with the likes of international literary superstars such as Jonathan Franzen and Lynda La Plante. His sentences are usually too long.
Mogens Johansen
Lead Travel Photographer & Travel Photojournalist
With more than 30 years’ professional photographic experience, Mogens leads our popular photo training courses, and will take some special Travel Club Tours. But more than that, he’s out and about travelling, writing, making video features, and showing how to take better pictures through our online tutorials. Recent assignments have ranged from South America to New Zealand.
Sam Jeremic
Motoring Editor
If he’s not in Europe investigating breakthrough motoring developments at some big car expo, he’s at the launch of a new model, or driving fast round the Leguna Seca circuit in America. Sam’s our man behind the wheel, bringing great drive experiences, news, tips and advice. He’ll offer advice for drives in WA and we’ll have some caravanning stories, too.
