Work with me

Distinctive places deserve stories with a point of view.

I partner with exceptional hotels, travel brands and tourism boards on stories with a clear point of view. My work combines original photography, writing and firsthand travel, and blonde.travel has more than 140,000 followers on Instagram and 70,000 on Facebook.

My previous collaborations include tourism boards in Abu Dhabi, Türkiye and Bonaire; leading hotel names such as Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton; and many independent hotels. Each project is shaped around the place rather than dropped into a formula.

Past collaborations

The changing way we travel

Skift Research’s Global Traveler Mindset and Trends 2026 puts social media at 36% of trip discovery against search’s 41%, a five-point gap and closing.

Among the travelers setting the pace, Millennials and Gen Z, it disappears: Skift Research’s Social Commerce in Travel found 57% cite social media as a top planning source, more than six times the next-closest channel.

What we can create together

Hotel stories and hosted stays

I create first-person hotel stories that move beyond the room tour: the atmosphere, design, food, setting and details that distinguish one address from another. Depending on the brief, a collaboration can bring together a blonde.travel feature, original photography, short-form video and social coverage.

Destination campaigns

I create destination campaigns with a clear visual narrative and practical editorial value. The work can follow a single journey or build a fuller portrait through blonde.travel features, itineraries, photography, short-form video and social coverage.

Photography and short-form video

I produce original stills and vertical video for hotel and brand-owned websites and social channels. The brief, editing, delivery format and usage rights are agreed in advance.

Social campaigns

Campaigns can extend across @blonde.travel on Instagram and the blonde.travel Facebook page. A campaign may live on one platform or across both, depending on the brief. Please request my Media Kit for the current platform breakdown and available formats.

A Tripadvisor contributor since 2014, I hold Superstar status for both reviews and photos, a distinction Tripadvisor awards to its top 1% of members. My contributions have received more than 130,000 views, earning Views Authority recognition. Most of those views and helpful votes come from my hotel reviews: I post an honest, comprehensive first-person review for the majority of properties where I stay.

Beyond my own reviews, I offer full-scale Tripadvisor reputation management and advisory services for hotels, destinations and activities, drawing on experience helping properties reach the top of their categories and earn Travelers’ Choice awards.

Selective by design

I choose places and products that belong naturally in the world I already photograph and write about. That fit matters: it allows a collaboration to feel credible to readers while doing justice to the partner. Paid and hosted arrangements are disclosed; my observations and conclusions remain my own.
