TRAVEL WRITING AND ISLAND WANDERLUST

Wild & Grizzly BlogCamp UK
On Saturday I set my alarm for crazy o'clock to make sure I caught the train to Birmingham to attend BlogCamp UK, where I was speaking about Travel Writing alongside the lovely Kirstie from The Family Adventure Project. Even though I've had experience at public speaking in my previous jobs, this was my first time speaking at a blogging conference and it was lovely meeting lots of new people and hearing professional bloggers share their advice and experiences.

Wild & Grizzly and The Family Adventure Project

I love travel writing as much as I love writing about interiors, and being able to combine travel, style and great interior design makes for a very happy me! After sharing my tips on how to write a travel review and hearing peoples planned adventures it's got me craving a little getaway, you know the type I mean right? Sparkly blue seas, beautiful Mediterranean sun and watching F play in the sand...*sigh* and I am very lucky to be heading out to Palma next week with my little family to soak up a bit of sun and explore island life.

So this week I will be trying to get some last minute pieces like a swimming costume, summer dresses and a few key pieces for F – I can sense a beach style post coming on – and then I will probably spend the latter half of the week trying to figure out how to squeeze it all into a carry on case.

So in the spirit of travel and day dreaming about distant shores I thought I'd share my Take Me There Travel board on Pinterest full of beautiful destinations.



Have you got any holiday plans booked yet?

  8. Ooh I was so nervous when I spoke at a couple of conferences - something I had never done anything similar to before in my daily life, but was so proud of myself for getting up there and doing it! Sadly we cant afford a holiday this year as have just moved house, which ate all our pennies- on the up side we live in a gorgeous area for day trips!
