About

Sara Rochelle is a writer based between Leeds, Birmingham, and Amman. She studied English Literature, which means she is professionally trained to overthink sentences and emotionally attach herself to places.

She has always loved writing, especially pieces that feel personal, human, and real. She is drawn to the stories behind places, stripping past the surface to the core: the people, memories, conversations, hidden corners, and small details that make somewhere feel alive.

Having lived between Jordan and the UK, themes like belonging, identity, home, and culture naturally show up in her writing, sometimes heartfelt, sometimes witty, depending on what the moment calls for.

She is especially interested in the emotional side of cities: why certain places stay with us, why strangers sometimes become part of a memory, and why a small café can say more about a city than a famous landmark.

Sara also works in content creation and creative projects, so she tends to look at places through atmosphere and feeling, not just information. Her focus: hidden places, local culture, people, and the kind of everyday beauty we usually notice only when life finally slows down for five minutes.

Northern grit, good coffee, better conversations.

More canals than Venice. She will mention this.

Seven hills, endless tea, and the city that taught her to notice.
