Sarah Leigh Bannerman is the Commerce editor at Condé Nast Traveller, where she manages, curates and commissions digital hotel reviews and round-up content, as well as overseeing AirBnBs, villas and retail. Prior to joining the team in-house, Sarah freelanced for CNT UK as well as other publishers, and worked in luxury fashion e-commerce. When it comes to travel, Sarah’s annual pilgrimage to Ibiza and Formentera is unwavering, though trips look very different since having twin babies in tow. UK staycations are a weekend favourite, as are quick trips to cities like Paris and New York. Next on the wishlist is a trip to Thailand, Zanzibar and Finnish Lapland.
