Hosts
Sarah Magnoni
Sarah Magnoni is the founder of Cobblestones and Castles, a boutique travel company that takes women on small group journeys through Ireland, Scotland, France, England, and beyond. Her trips blend literature, history, and the stories of women who shaped (and were often erased from) the places we love to visit. From private castle dinners to candlelit witch trial tours, every itinerary is designed to turn travel into something deeper: connection, courage, and a little reclaiming of the narrative.
A travel writer with bylines in Business Insider and BBC Travel, Sarah specializes in luxury experiences across the UK and Europe, including historical fiction-inspired journeys, sacred feminine retreats, and river cruises along the castle-dotted Rhine. She believes the best trips aren't just about where you go, they're about who you become along the way.
