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!

I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for introducing me to wild swimming. She lives here in the Lakes and is an all-seasons pro. At first I was intrigued by her new hobby but equally I thought she was totally mad.

With 8 wild swims under my belt now I’ve definitely grown in confidence and really crave the rush of endorphins it brings. It’s such a visceral experience that pushes your body and then rewards it. There are also so many mental health benefits to wild swimming too. 

Here are Naomi’s 6 top tips if you are a beginner and want to give wild swimming a try:

1. Make sure you have a safe entry and exit point
2. Be mindful of any currents or tides. Lakes are safest as they have neither. 
3. Never swim alone. Always go with someone else.
4. Wear swim booties to protect your feet from rough ground. 
5. Remember mindfulness - try to be present in the moment, noticing what you can hear, smell, see, feel. You can’t get closer to nature than this. 
6. Make sure you have a towel and warm, dry clothing to put on immediately after swimming. 

Would you ever try wild / cold water swimming? Or are you already converted? 💬

The penthouse currently sells at an eye watering $10,084 a night, which we absolutely did not pay. 

For full disclosure, this was not a PR / press stay. My friend booked a loft suite and the penthouse upgrade was a surprise as the lovely reception staff noticed it was her birthday during our stay. We did not mention our social media accounts or my blog so this stroke of luck was 100% organic! 

Before booking the Edition NYC we saw online that the hotel regularly upgrades its guests whenever possible. We were hopeful but never ever expected they’d upgrade us to the penthouse! 

Insider tip: the generous upgrades are definitely a reason to stay at The Edition when you’re next in NYC.

What’s your favourite part of the Penthouse? 🗽 

📍 5 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NYC
