Press & media kit

WideSprout is a family of independent publications for curious people. It began as a travel notebook kept in a van and has grown into four brands: WideSprout Travel, slow-travel guides from three years on the road; WideSprout Stories, myths, legends and folk tales from around the world, each with a narrated video; WideSprout Español, a Spanish course in 60-second lessons from A1 to C2; and WideSprout Recipe, home cooking from the places we’ve been. Every WideSprout brand shares the same values: honest over polished, small steady steps, and open about how the work is made.

Zara started WideSprout as a battered paper notebook kept in a decade-old panel van, with no five-year plan and a lot of road ahead. That notebook became WideSprout Travel, and the writing grew into a family of four brands. Today she edits across WideSprout, still writes about gear, van builds and the practical side of life on the road, and looks after the standards every brand follows.
