The Team

Ruby Taylor writes with sun in her sentences and a kangaroo-hop kind of energy. From dusty Outback road trips to rainy days in Melbourne cafés, she captures Australia in all its bold, bizarre, and breathtaking glory. Her voice is part bush poetry, part group-chat hilarity — and always tuned to the details that make a place unforgettable.

Ruby Taylor brings the sun-scorched charm and untamed spirit of Australia to Go Cybernaut’s travel desk. As the Australia Travel Writer, she’s your guide to surf towns tucked between eucalyptus groves, rugged Outback trails, and coastal adventures where kangaroos might photobomb your sunrise yoga. Ruby’s stories pulse with movement—whether she’s diving into Aboriginal cultural tours, spotlighting eco-lodges in Tasmania, or chasing wildflowers across Western Australia, she writes with the grounded insight of a native wanderer and the bold energy of a lifelong athlete.

Her playlist, “Under Southern Skies,” is an eclectic, heart-thumping, sun-warmed blend of folk-pop, indie rock, and surfside beats—music that reflects Ruby’s confident, fun-loving nature and her free-spirited, capable approach to life. Her musical taste is as lively as the road trips she chronicles—think bird calls in the Blue Mountains with acoustic harmonies, or dance tracks that follow a dusty drive through the Outback.

A dedicated animal lover, Ruby often folds wildlife conservation into her writing, whether it’s spotlighting koala sanctuaries or sustainable snorkeling with sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef. Her lens is wide, but her heart is always close to the creatures, communities, and coastlines she champions.

Ruby works closely with Marco Estrada to align her Australia features with broader travel content, often teaming up on Southern Hemisphere itineraries. Her storytelling style resonates with Vista Byrnes, the team’s Travel Scout, who feeds her leads on remote glamping retreats and trail-rider hangouts. Ruby also collaborates with Eliza Bloom to feature regional Aussie cuisine in her travel stories, from beachside fish shacks to Indigenous bush tucker tastings.

Whether hiking the Grampians or camping under constellations unseen in the Northern skies, Ruby Taylor is our passport to the playful, rugged, and soul-stirring wilds of Australia.

She writes for the ones craving wide skies, weird wildlife, and the chance to eat something grilled under fairy lights. Whether she’s diving into reef-town stories or unearthing roadside attractions with questionable mascots, Ruby brings color, warmth, and a wink to every piece.

Originally from a surfy spot on the Gold Coast, Ruby now roams across time zones with her laptop, camera, and a stash of salty snacks. She’s got a sixth sense for secret swimming holes and once camped under the stars with a wombat as a neighbor.

Her motto? “If it’s got red dirt, local slang, or a ghost story — I’m in.”
