Fresh from the SE Asia/Australia backpacker trail, Emma (or Sparkle as her friends call her) is the newest recruit to join the My Destination Content Team. Currently mourning the loss of her tan, she’s finding comfort in sharing her stories and reminiscing about her travels, which is apparently deemed to be ‘work’. Having grown up in a village outside Cardiff, this little Welshie is still getting to grips with London and delights in shocking people on the tube by smiling at them. She’s a keen dancer and is looking forward to visiting Pineapple Studios and impressing some of you at future socials with her moves (drunken tap dancing is her specialty). Dreams of moving to Fiji and marrying Michael Palin.
First up in our fresh batch of Big Blogger Interviews for 2013 is Adam Groffman, hipster cool-kid currently residing in Berlin and blogging at travelsofadam.com. We caught up with him to talk travel, German lessons and gratitude… You are a self-proclaimed ‘hipster’ – which you define as someone who’s ‘eager to learn, to see [...]
Another travel-packed twelve months have passed and we, at My Destination HQ, are feeling a little nostalgic as 2013 looms… It’s been a jam-packed year, particularly for the UK, what with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the epic Olympic and Paralympic Games, the announcement of a baby royal on the way and the new Bond; quite [...]
Next up in the Big Blogger Interview series is Paul Johnson, of A Luxury Travel Blog. We caught up with him to pick his brains on all things luxury – you might be surprised at the answers! You say that luxury is about service – making people feel special. Do you have any pet-hates when [...]
Nellie Huang and Alberto Molero are quite the travel blogging team. With a knack for fantastic photography and well-executed editorials, it is no wonder that WildJunket has exploded in recent years, heading to the top of the travel tree. We caught up with the lovely couple to discuss their experiences. Congratulations on the launch [...]
The topic of Christmas tends to divide people into two camps, each holding equally passionate opinions. There are the scrooges, who detest any mention of the day in question, cringe at the sound of Wham’s Last Christmas, and refuse to buy even their mother a measly card. Then there are the over-excited elves, who are [...]
Sea kayaking has never been high on my bucket list of adventure activities. Give me a sunset horse ride along a secluded beach, a zip line over a pine forest, heck, push me out of a plane with a parachute – just don’t expect me to get in the sea. Correction: Don’t expect me to [...]
There are a few things that stick in my mind when I think about Hawaii: My skydive (that was quite a biggie), the impressive city/beach dynamic of Honolulu and the awesome strength of the pacific waves; but more than anything else, I remember the colour. It’s as if the entire state has turned up the saturation dial on nature’s Photoshop. [...]
Next up in our Big Blogger Interview series is Michael Hodson, the brains behind travel blog, Go, See, Write. We’ve nabbed a chat with him to talk overland travel, mountain climbing and exciting projects for the future… You are all about the journey, not just the destination. Could you let us in on an off-the-beaten [...]
Mark Hodson is one well-travelled man. Having had an enviable career in travel journalism, he is now co-founder and editor of travel sites 101holidays and 101honeymoons. We caught up with the man himself to pick his brains on all things travel. In a recent interview for A Dangerous Business, you reject the idea that [...]
Forget Skyfall; the real premiere of the week is tonight. Effortlessly suave, with a charismatic English accent and a passport with enough stamps to rival Bond’s, Michael Palin is back on our screens tonight with his new series, Brazil (BBC1, 9pm). I know ladies, I know. Move over Daniel Craig, the true travel dreamboat has [...]
Ayngelina Brogan of BaconisMagic.ca is the next lovely lady to take part in our Big Blogger Interview series. Going above and beyond the ‘solo-female traveller’ label, Ayngelina has turned her love of travel into a lifestyle. We heard that the blog name ‘Bacon is Magic’ alludes to the fact that small changes can have [...]
We know that journeying from place to place can sometimes take a while, and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’ can be somewhat distracting. In light of this we’ve come
