Following an ill-fated family holiday to Malta in the early 1980s, Zannah Ingraham spent her childhood being bundled into the back of her parents’ Renault 21 at regular intervals to explore the far reaches of Europe by road.
 
After graduating in 2002, Zannah bounced around Australia, America and the north of England before landing in Manchester, where she began writing for the BBC and the Big Issue in the North.
 
For five years Zannah worked as the Senior Editor at the UK’s official graduate careers publisher, where she specialised in student and gap year travel and did her best to dissuade other graduates against the virtues of getting a ‘proper job’.
