This week on The Travel Date, host Angelica-Hazel Toutounji is joined by the Sarah Maree Cameron — presenter, writer, comedian, and all-round storyteller with a love of adventure and curiosity for the world.

In this honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation, Sarah Maree shares how travel has shaped her independence, resilience, and sense of self. From a spontaneous decision to move overseas in her early twenties to hitchhiking across the United States, navigating airport chaos and couch-surfing before it was mainstream, Sarah Maree’s stories are filled with courage, humour, and heart.

She reflects on formative childhood holidays spent by the Murray River and how those early experiences planted the seeds for a lifelong love of exploration. Sarah Maree also shares what a typical weekend looks like in Melbourne, juggling her work across sport broadcasting, radio, and live performance — and where to walk, eat, and drink coffee when visiting the city.

From falling in love with Oman and its incredible hospitality, dreaming about Christmas markets with her mum, unforgettable meals in Dubai, luxury stays in Doha, island hopping in Malaysia, and her upcoming Sunshine Coast adventure, this episode is packed with warmth, laughter, and meaningful travel reflections.
