The Travelista’s 2014 Blog Report

09/01/15 ᛫ 14 Comments

*Geeky Blog Post Alert!*

2014 was a monumental year for The Travelista. I won a Cosmo Blog Award and travelled to 16 destinations and 6 new countries throughout the year (you can read about where I went here). It was so rewarding to see my blog stats and traffic reflect such an exciting year, with my monthly hits and unique users going through the roof.

I have also acquired a loyal readership base and following, which is the most important thing for any viable blogger. It’s so lovely to see familiar names crop up in my comments as well as the new readers that stop by.

Thank you so much to all my readers for supporting my blog and following it’s journey (some of you are even named in this report). I also want to say thank you to Cosmopolitan UK for recognising my blog and for giving me so much valuable exposure through their amazing Cosmo Blog Awards.

One stat I was particularly excited about was my highest viewed post this year, which was My ‘Live Like a Tourist’ London Bucket List blog post that I wrote just before I moved down to London. It received 62,000 views, which is enough to fill up Madison Square Gardens 3 times over – wow! I also was amazed to see that one of my very first blog posts is still the most commented. From Tea Girl to Luxury Travel Blogger; How I got Into Travel Blogging is still my most commented post at 46 comments. I still get new comments today! There is tonnes of fascinating stuff in this report and I am proud to share it, so if you fancy having a nosey, be my guest!

The Travelista Blog will turn 2 in March 2015 so it’s still early days in comparison to a lot of other blogs out there, but I am so proud of my progress so far. I am so excited to bring you even more travel tales, unique photography, inside tips, hot reviews and ultimately doing what I love, which is story telling. Follow the stories on Twitter @travelistajess, Instagram @thetravelista and Facebook The Travelista

Here’s an excerpt:

Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 62,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Madison Square Garden, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Hello 2023! 🤍 A clean page, a fresh start. I h Hello 2023! 🤍 A clean page, a fresh start.

I had too many words about 2022 for a caption, so I’ve put them all into a blog post. 

My “2022 year in review” is live on The Travelista. It’s a longer, personal blog post about lessons, learnings, achievements and travels from year just gone, as well as my hopes and goals for 2023. I’ve put a link on stories for anyone interested. 😊

Wishing you a healthy, happy, adventure-filled New Year ✨

17 destinations across 9 countries. My son stepped foot in 3 new countries and I got to bring him on 6 trips with me, including his first cruise. Wow ♥️

I’m finding a new rhythm for travelling with (and sometimes without) a little one and can’t wait for what’s to come in 2023.

Whether you’re new here or you’ve followed my journey for years, thank you so much for being here, for every like, comment and share. It is this amazing, supportive and loyal community that has enabled me to quit my job this year and return to doing this full time again post Covid.

A little snapshot into our Christmas, the first on A little snapshot into our Christmas, the first one in our new home, blending our families and hosting for 9. ☺️🥂 Hope you all had a lovely day 🎄

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ♥️.
Before I sign off for a little Christmas social me Before I sign off for a little Christmas social media break, here’s a festive photo dump of the past week + sharing my favourite poem🕯🎄🥂

Featuring 

➕ A lunch to @bettys with the girls. Making a new tradition. 
➕ A family visit to @castle_howard for their spectacular #IntotheWoods Christmas experience. Phenomenal. We go every year and it just gets better and better.
➕ Carols by candlelight at our local church - magic - but so many layers because the heating was broken!
➕ Dust if you Must by Rose Milligan. The perfect tonic in the (potentially stressful) build up to Christmas. 

We are hosting family this year and I’m excited! I’d love my house to look like a festive show home but it doesn’t, and that’s ok. (I have a 4 year old making mess twice as fast as I can tidy it). 

Fellow hosts, don’t be so busy ‘dusting’ that you miss all the little moments of magic! I’m reminding myself of this too. Swipe to read the poem and you’ll get it. ♥️

Wishing you a perfectly imperfect Christmas 🎄 

Love Jess x

We are all feeling the pinch this year with the rising cost of living, so I set myself a challenge to find gifts for under £30. By shopping at outlets like Junction 32, which has over 80 brands offering up to 60% off the retail price, your money truly does go so much further. ♥️

What gifts I bought;

✔️ Slippers from @radleylondon RRP £40 J32 Price £20
✔️Himalayam charcoal gift set from @thebodyshop RRP £36.00 J32 Price £29.50
✔️Wax cheese wheels from independent retailer @themousehouse_lincoln £3 for £16
✔️Children’s cutlery set from @procookuk RRP £10 J32 Price £7

As usual J32 had some brilliant items on offer and a huge amount of choice, even this far into December.

Have you got any last minute Christmas shopping to do? I think I am finally done! 🛍
