Hi!
Hope you’re having a good week + happy almost weekend! As a freelancer, I’ll be the first to admit that I struggle. I have a very type-A personality, and it’s hard for me to relinquish control over things I can’t control (like unanswered pitches that I put so much time into, editors turning over faster than pancakes, stories submitted that take forever to publish… you get the point). I envy other freelancers who seem to handle it all so swiftly, but for me (and others I’m sure), it can be quite difficult. Today is just one of those days when it’s hitting me a bit more and isn’t as easy to sweep under the rug. A penny for my thoughts, haha.
In other news, please pitch me all your airline and hotel stories. I’m particularly keen on luxury hotels (exclusives or first-ins are a bonus!) that are either bringing something new to the scene or are changing the destination that they are in. I want to make some waves with these stories.
I’m also working on my usual travel content (hotel reviews, destination stories, *cruises*, trains, etc), along with airline reviews, news, and more. I’ve written some fun pieces for Business Traveller recently and I adore the team there. I also have written a bunch of content for Brides, Insider, TZR, Hemispheres, and others, and I’m always pitching outlets across the board, as you all know!
Also: I’d love it if you all could follow me on TikTok (please!) and I recently started a broadcast channel on IG for source requests, PR questions, the works.

Skincare Products From Amazon That Reviewers Say Made A Huge Difference
Share some recs! must mention something about how it made a huge difference in the reviews to be considered.
Of course, I’m also working on a lot of individual reviews of hotels, destinations, products, and more, so these don’t require any input as of now.
Thank you! x
