SORREL DOWNER
Journalist, film producer, and media consultant, mixing it up for TV, online, newspapers and magazines. I cover travel & tourism, lifestyle, and design. Mainly. This is the HQ for previous work, and an introduction to current projects. I work all over the world and live on a farm in Cadiz which I write about at www.somewheresville.org.
10 great public transport rides | Travel | The Guardian
Ten reminders that the best travel experience are often the cheapest (luckily), just as long as you’re not in a hurry. I recommended the Sabalito border crossing, Costa Rica to Panama (although the map here shows a random road petering out at one of the ubiquitous San Rafaels), a route that involves an old US school bus, waiting for the border official to finish lunch, a trip through nowhere-in-particular settlements of wooden houses painted turquoise & wreathed in orchids, where life is slow . . like the transport. Full ride and 9 other inspiring public transport recommendations at The Guardian.
