Hotels, destinations & travel brands
I occasionally partner with hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, tourism boards, and travel brands on travel features — honest, story-first blog posts like the ones on this map, amplified to my newsletter readers and social audience. My guides rank on Google for their destinations (my Chongqing and Shanghai guides outrank plenty of full-time travel sites), and I only write about places I’d genuinely send a friend. If you’re a travel PR team, destination marketer, or hospitality brand looking for a travel blogger or influencer partnership, tell me about your property below — audience stats live in my press kit.
