As Featured in Thomson’s Inflight Magazine

17/11/16 ᛫ 18 Comments

Hey guys! I was so excited to share this piece of news that I thought it deserved its very own blog post. Receiving online exposure is amazing for any blogger, but the journalist inside of me still gets giddy when I get to see my name in print. I’ve been featured in the Winter 16/17 issue of Thomson’s inflight magazine, which involves a double-page spread about my blogging career. I’m in Sri Lanka this week on a press trip with Thomson, so I got to see the article for myself when we flew on the new Dreamliner 787. It was a surreal and very proud moment.

In a nutshell, the article talks about how I have evolved my blog from a hobby to a career and includes my 10 top tips to help others create their own successful travel blogs. I’m so proud of the result and still can’t believe that 5.2 million people will read about my blog as they jet off on their travels (I mean, who doesn’t read the inflight mag?)

This is also a chance to say a big thank-you to YOU, and everyone that follows and subscribes to The Travelista. Milestones like this wouldn’t happen without your interest and support. So if you’re jetting off with Thomson any time between now and February 2017, keep an eye out for the article!

Before Covid, The Travelista was my full time job and sole source of income. Like many others, my business and its earnings took a huge hit during the pandemic. So in August 2020 I started a comms job working 3 days a week for a UK charity.

I continued to work on creating content for The Travelista in my spare time, working weekends, evenings and any moments I wasn’t on Mum duty. I’ve spread myself so thin at times, but in the back of my head I knew The Travelista was a plant I needed to keep watering so that I had the option to hopefully one day return to doing it full time again. Slowly the brand work and travel campaigns began to pick up again until I felt ready to take the leap back into self-employment.

I've officially handed in my notice at my comms job and feel 100% ready to work on The Travelista exclusively again. I also love that I will get to choose my own hours again, spend more time with Theo and restore a little more balance and wellbeing to my life.

I am very proud to be a small business owner and to create content firstly for you, my audience, and secondly for the amazing brands and destinations I work with. 

I have a list of ideas longer than my arm so here’s to bringing some BBE - big business energy - to the second half of 2022. 

Thank you for all following and supporting my account as this next step would not be possible without having you all onboard for the ride. ✨🤍

Ad Newcastle, I love you! 💓 I moved to Newcast Ad Newcastle, I love you! 💓

I moved to Newcastle as a student aged 18, and I loved every second of the three years I called this city home. This weekend I got to return with my best friend Fi, who I met on the first week of moving here. 

13 years later (wow), we have had so much fun retracing our old steps, reminiscing and discovering new areas of the city we once called home. 

After spending 2 days here I can confirm that I have just as many *feels* for this place as I did on that first University open day my Dad took me to aged 17. The friendly people, the compactness of the city, the bars and restaurants, the architecture, the sheer value for money (seriously, where else can you get a glass of Prosecco for £3.95?). Swipe for some highlights which include;

1️⃣A walk along the Quayside 
2️⃣Returning to Francesca’s pizzeria in Jesmond for the ‘half pizza half pasta’ (if you know you know)
3️⃣Special access to climb to the top of Grey’s Monument 
4️⃣Discovering the up-and-coming areas of Ouseburn
5️⃣Brunch at @kilnouseburn, a unique ceramic cafe and studio
6️⃣Buying pick ’n’ mix at @graingermarket like old times
7️⃣Strolling down my old favourite streets such as Side 
8️⃣Margaritas at @wc_newcastle, a bar that was once a public toilets on the Bigg Market 

Stay tuned for my reel and stories for the full recap of what we got up to, and what I’d recommend doing on your own weekend away in Newcastle.
