Spring has Sprung: The Highlights from Our Spring Content Archives – Part One

Look outside. The days are getting longer. Daffodils are poking their yellow heads up through the dirt. Cadbury Creme Eggs have come and gone from our lives. And all this can only mean one thing: spring is finally upon us.

We are celebrating the new season with some of our best spring-themed content. Bid farewell to winter’s hearty comfort food and choose lighter fare instead, with our selection of the world’s finest seafood restaurants. Spring is also the season for festivals, with Songkran (aka Thai New Year) a springtime favourite – you can find a chic place to stay with our run-down of Thailand’s greatest luxury design hotels. With the weather getting better, why not also discover some new places – we’ve added a guide on Moscow and copy for a hotel on the Algarve. And the days may be getting longer, but there’s still pitch black night skies to enjoy, so we have included a piece on stargazing.

Our Travels: Easter Island

At World Words, we are very proud of our team’s extensive travel experience. You see, not only are all our writers and editors highly experienced in the worlds of journalism and marketing, they’re also uncommonly well-travelled. In fact, you won’t find many corners of the world that members of the World Words team have not visited. And we believe that this passion for travel and this personal experience gives our travel content unparalleled authenticity.

As regular readers of the Our Travels blog series will know, we like to share some of our most exciting trips with our readers. This month, it’s the turn of editor-in-chief Joe. Having previously written about travels to Belarus, The Gambia and Corsica (among others), he is now heading to one of the most remote places on earth. Easter Island.

A Milan Fashionista or a Sydney Foodie? Our Blog Posts for Kingsbridge Travel

At World Words, we are regularly asked to write blog content by new clients. They come to us for one big reason – we know what we are talking about. Whatever the topic, whatever the destination and whatever the angle, we have the real travel experience and content writing expertise to help. Whether they are looking for a blog about scuba diving in Galapagos, an in-depth tour of ancient Egyptian sights in Alexandra or a gastronome’s guide to Florence, we are able to write it. We’d go so far as to say that no other content agency can match the extensive first-hand travel experience of our team. (If you’re in any doubt, just take a look at this blog’s Our Travels series).

Last year, we were contacted by the US-based travel agency Kingsbridge Travel in relation to their company blog. They were looking for a series of blog posts on destinations all over the world, from the hiking trails of Northern Italy to the Aboriginal culture of sunny Sydney. So that’s what we have been doing. We have written half a dozen blog posts for them to date (with more to follow), and you’ll find snippets from just a few of our favourites below…

Our Travels: Montpellier, France

It probably comes as no surprise to you that the World Words team has a serious case of wanderlust. After all, it’s those itchy feet that led us to specialise in travel content in the first place. We don’t just love to write about global destinations, we get out there and explore them for ourselves, which is what makes our content so well informed.

The Our Travels blog series gives us the chance to share our very best travel stories with you each month. Our jet-setting writers and editors have visited worldwide destinations as varied as Oman, Estonia and Quebec City.

In this month’s blog, World Words content writer Ruth heads to the sunny south of France to explore Montpellier…
