Active Woman Traveler

Sarah Marshall (The Travel Mommy) fell in love with the Middle East the night she ate at a world class fish restaurant in the Port of Aqaba, accompanied by her husband, her diving partner, and a Bedouin and his camel. To Marshall, world travel is about embracing world cultures and immersing yourself in them. From attending a Palestinian wedding in a refugee camp to being the guest of honor at a Bedouin banquet, Marshall incorporates native culture into her own, no matter how unfamiliar. 

When the birth of her medically-fragile son curbed her family's travel plans, she began to chronicle her experiences as The Travel Mommy (http://www.thetravelmommy.com). She currently is a freelance writer on the topics of travel, family, and special needs parenting for such sites as the former DC Metro Moms, The Examiner, Hopeful Parents and others.

At Active Woman Traveler, Sarah regularly shares her insights in the Culture Clash department.
