As the weather starts to get warmer, I'm looking forward to some sunny getaways closer to home. Here's one from the archives that I can't wait to visit again - Oban and the Inner Hebrides! wanderingandwine.com/blog/2021/07... #scotland #travel #hebrides

In my latest for AzureRoad, I wax lyrical about the amazing Kohutapu Lodge near Rotorua in New Zealand. www.azureroad.io/kohutapu-lod... #travel #heritage #culture

Thinking about visiting Bologna on a budget? Well, here are all my best things to do in this seriously tasty Italian city! wanderingandwine.com/blog/2025/03... #italy #bologna #budgettravel

Shamelessly booked a little solo city break to celebrate! I love the ALCS🎉

Given I've been on another long haul jaunt recently, it's time to refresh on all of the best ways to avoid jet lag. Hit the ground running and make the most of those precious holiday days with these tips! wanderingandwine.com/blog/2021/08... #travel #jetlag #flighttips

Call it a long shot, but are any editors interested in guides or articles about a long weekend in Tarragona? I should be heading out end of April ✌️ #freelance #journorequest #pitch

Just had my first-ever @alcs.co.uk statement come through and to say I'm ecstatic is an understatement. You are magic people doing magical things!

Finally went through a load of PR responses for one travel piece and sieved through the AI ones and irrelevant responses - I still have 47 pages of quotes. Send wine.

Did you know that there are craft breweries in Costa Rica? Monteverde Brewing has a brewpub a short walk outside Santa Elena with amazing flights, cans to take away, tasty food, and merch. I'd 10/10 recommend the Salsipuedes coffee stout! #beertasting #travel #costarica

I pride myself on being a budget-friendly traveler, however, it’s hard to ignore that the price of just about everything has gone up. So, here are my tips for how to travel on a budget (even in this economy)! buff.ly/41cb69H #budgettravel #travel #traveltips

Bit of a different one to work on for @living360magazine.bsky.social I put an AI fitness plan to the test to see if my injury-prone body could be helped... living360.uk/ai-generated...

Thinking about visiting a vineyard on your next trip? Well, there are so many to choose from. That's why I've shared my picks for the best countries for wine tours complete with the most popular regions. Click the link in my bio to read more. buff.ly/40ZkmxX #wine #travel #winetours

I'm looking for people who have either participated or been to a Beltane event as a spectator, especially the Calton Hill one in Edinburgh. Looking for first-hand quotes, experiences, and opinions to feature in a wider piece. Email is in my bio or DM me! #journorequest

Montenegro is making waves as an affordable European alternative to Greece and Croatia, but you also need to head further inland from the beaches. Lake Skadar National Park is a stunning place to visit, with three-hour boat tours for as little as 10 Euros. #montenegro #nature #boat #lakeskadar

Just bagged some tickets for the Women's Rugby World Cup and the prices are a revelation. Two matches in a standing spot for £10. No booking fees, no extras. I couldn't breathe in Twickenham for that. Most of the tickets are already sold out and that's what happens when sport is accessible!

I'm looking for travel experts who have views on why small group adventure travel is becoming so appealing, especially for women. This can include people who work in the industry, travel psychologists, frequent travelers, and more! Email is in bio #journorequest

So I've finally bit the bullet and set up a Ko-Fi account. If you like what I do and want to buy me a coffee to keep me caffeinated enough to keep going, click the link below! ko-fi.com/rebekkiie

Want to visit Hadrian's Wall but don't want to drive? With all the double backing you'd have to do at the end of a day's hike, parking on the wall can be annoying. So, here's how to get to Hadrian's Wall by public transport! buff.ly/42C1Gqm #travel #uk #hadrianswall #sustainable

Located just outside Ambleside in the Lake District, you'll find the fantastic Rydal Caves. Wander carefully along the stepping stones to the dry section inside to fully enjoy the experience. And yes, The Witcher was filmed here! #lakedistrict #uk #thewitcher #filmlocations

A great day all around learning about Oregon and Washington State wines in Manchester today - new wine destination unlocked!

While Greece has plenty of amazing ruins, did you know you can see some amazing columns and ruined temples for free in some of the parks around Corfu Town? Inside Mon Repos Park, you can explore these ruins up close, with hardly any crowds! #corfu #greece #ancienthistory #travel

Glenorchy in Queenstown NZ has just been awarded International Dark Sky status. I was there back in November so editors, please get in touch if you'd like to commission something timely! #journorequest

The fact that this article can exist is frankly baffling. There's something seriously wrong with our trains when it's cheaper to via fly via Budapest between London and Edinburgh. That's over 1,000 miles out of the way and cheaper by a third. www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/advic...

Filled with rainforests, amazing coastlines, and adorable sloths, Costa Rica is on many of our bucket lists. But, where should you stay on a budget? Here are my recs. buff.ly/4g0MOoA #travel #costarica #budget

With the announcement that @bbcradio1pr.bsky.social Big Weekend is going to be in Liverpool this year, editors I am here for all your Liverpool guides, especially in and around Sefton Park. I live just around the corner! #journorequest #radio1bigweeked

Reupping this search for experts, enthusiasts or anyone who has a background in Scottish Celtic traditions for a new article. Feel free to share!

Okay, so professional dream come true - I've officially written for National Geographic!! www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/artic...

I'm back celebrating my home city of Liverpool today in Time Out, and all the delicious places to go! www.timeout.com/uk/things-to...

Slap a celebrity name on a wine for the vibes and marketing, but does it taste any good? This @pelliclemag.com piece from @rachelhendry.bsky.social hits the nail on the head.

Sitting in my cold office in the UK, thinking about eating cheese and drinking truly bizarre pineapple wine on a side street in Madeira! Anyone else love trying the local food and drink scene while they're away instead of going to the tourist hotspots? #travel #food #madeira

A slightly different #journorequest today. I'm looking for an expert in Scottish Celtic and Pagan traditions and/or Scottish Pagan mythology for an upcoming article. My DMs are open and my email is in my bio.

So, Agrigento in Sicily has been named the Italian Capital of Culture for 2025! I loved visiting this place almost a decade ago and as an Ancient History nerd, the amazingly preserved temple complex is calling me back. That and the cannolis. #sicily #culture #ancienthistory

Great start to the week with this piece about my recent New Zealand trip going live on @inews.co.uk inews.co.uk/inews-lifest... #travel #budgettravel

A few months ago, a group of travel writers and bloggers volunteered to write articles to help bring site traffic back after another disastrous Google update. Here's my contribution: onedayeurope.com/one-day-in-r...

Okay, flights are booked, give me your recs for Japan in March! Flying into Osaka and then back out of Manchester but the itinerary in between is very much TBD.
