Working with others within the travel industry has been one of the highlights of my career as a travel writer – DMOs, tourism brands, fellow writers, editors and everything in between.   

 

I’ve visited more than 115 countries and love nothing more than sharing stories, advice and opinions.  Whether you’re looking for a curated travelogue to your destination, an opinion piece (written or broadcast) or interested in a guest blog, social media collaboration or syndicated content, please get in touch and I’d be very happy to discuss.  

 

My rates vary upon the subject and depth of collaboration required – I promise to tailor my response to your specific request.  Please contact me to find out more.

Curated Travelogues and Branded Content
 

Want to inspire your visitors to stay for longer in your destination?  Want to show off a particular theme or season but don’t have the time or resource to write it internally?   

 

I produce high-quality, SEO-friendly curated travelogues focused on themes, events or new openings delivered to your specification.  These can either be written form or visually stunning PDF guides.

 

My specialist themes include could include:

 

  • First-Timers (the greatest hits laid out in easy-to-follow format)

  • Returning Visitors (the hidden local secrets – see my Blog Series ‘Second Time In’ for inspiration)

  • Outdoor Addicts (hills, rivers/oceans, urban adventures, sports weekends)

  • Culture Vultures (the museums, historical highpoints and quirky additions to every city's landscape)

  • Pride Weekenders (turning a one-off visit into a long weekend focused on inclusive and welcoming venues)

  • Bites and Sips (focused on exploring local food/drink)

  • Car Free / Train Escapes (focused on sustainable travel options)

​

Sample Work:  

Visit Newcastle-Gateshead (Queer Travel) 

Visit Tucson (Travel via Public Transport)

Social Media Collaborations and Guest Blogs

 

Want to promote your destination or attraction in both high-quality written and social media formats?  

 

Looking for a writer whose bylines include BBC Travel, Conde Nast and UK national newspapers and can produce matching social media content?

 

I can provide both engaging written content in the form of an opinion piece, guest blog post and accompany social media posts/stories/reels that fit the same theme.   This can be a one-off (e.g. to celebrate the opening of a new exhibition or event) or a series (e.g. to show off lesser known attractions or a season-by-season view)
